Congress is returning to the Farm Bill, so Beth is helping us understand why and what their goals are.
HOUSEKEEPING:
We know there's been an incorrect link floating around for last week's Live event replay and we're so sorry about that! If you're looking for it, this is the correct link and the password is Community. We'll be publishing an audio version shortly, too.
If you're seeing this version of the show notes, you are subscribed through Patreon, not Apple Podcasts Subscriptions (even if it's showing up in your Apple Podcasts app! I promise you're subscribed through Patreon). You don't need to worry about filling out a form to get info about events. You should see announcements on the Patreon feed. If you aren't getting those, you may want to update your notification/email settings to be sure you're seeing everything from us!
