USDA Farm Bill: What is in it for Woodland Owners?
More than 30 organizations partnered to create the Forests in the Farm Bill Coalition to advocate for private forest landowners.

After the 2008 Farm Bill passed, with more opportunities for forest landowners, this coalition worked to develop materials for landowners as well as trainings for state agencies, NRCS and foresters.
