FIELD NOTES
The Farm Bill delivers more benefits to the conservation of fish, wildlife and their habitats than any other federal program. Leading up to the bill’s 2008 reauthorization, the Association actively engaged with Members of Congress and as a result, total spending on conservation programs increased by approximately $4 billion to authorize approximately $7.9 billion through 2012.
