Will you make your list serve readers aware of these OSU summary papers on provisions in the 2008 Farm Bill?  The papers range in length from 1 page for ACRE and Supplemental Agricultural Disaster Assistance to 4 pages for the paper concerning provisions other than farm income support and risk management programs in the Farm Bill.

Thanks for thinking of KSU and I have posted the links below.  Farmers and others will find these papers provide a good summary of the Farm Bill provisions that affect production agriculture.  Note to readers, there are only Acrobat files available, i.e. no HTML files.
