Virginia agricultural producers have an opportunity to influence changes to a state program that provides financial assistance for farming practices. The Department of Conservation and Recreation is assembling its Technical Advisory Committee once more to evaluate potential modifications to the Virginia Agricultural Cost-Share Program.
The Virginia Farm Bureau, which holds membership on both the main committee and various subcommittees, is actively seeking input from farmers across the state. The organization plans to present these recommendations to the Department of Conservation and Recreation on behalf of the agricultural community.
Producers interested in proposing modifications to the cost-share program can submit their ideas through an online form or contact Jake Tabor, who serves as a legislative specialist for the Virginia Farm Bureau, at [email protected]. All suggestions must be received by Wednesday, April 29th to be considered for this year’s review process.
The Technical Advisory Committee will use these farmer recommendations to guide discussions about potential program improvements and policy adjustments for the upcoming period.
