What it is about

Agenda 23 represents the agenda for the 2023 Farm Bill. What’s the Farm Bill? It’s the most comprehensive piece of food and agriculture legislation passed every five years. As we prepare for the next Farm Bill to be enacted into law, we are starting the conversation now about everything we need to fight for in the next bill! The conversations between this unlikely duo- John Ikerd, an 80 year old Professor Emeritus born and raised on a dairy farm in Missouri and Mackenzie Feldman, a 24 year old born and raised in Honolulu, Hawaii, will be sure to bring you hope, joy, and a foundation of knowledge so that we can all be engaged for the upcoming 2023 Farm Bill!
