The btll. in part, locreated agricultural insurance co- verage, phcio kf tltjln Grave discussion by Trisha Thompson The Farm Act fueled an open forum of discussion and debate sponsored by Northwest ' s chapter of the Missouri Collegiate Farm Bureau. Drafted in 1996, the Farm Act was drafted to decrease federal farm subsidies over seven years, reduce crop price manipulations and push the farming industry into a reliance on the economy. The act failed to meet its goals after the drafting of the bill. Subsidies increased and the reduction in federal budget caused concern. Sen. Sam Graves, an active proponent of the legislation, visited campus April 2002 to give a general overview of the bill and answer questiofu. We decided to have (Graves] speak about the farm bill because Collegiate Farm Bureau it so legislative-oriented. We wanted to have others be able to get the perspective of what is going on, Kristen Rhodes said. Sponsoring speakers like Graves through- out the semester, the Collegiate Farm Bureau included local and state business rep- resentatives. The bureau also planned a trip to Jefferson City to meet legislators and learn about the legislative process. Collegiate Farm Bureau President Lori Fordyce said she thought the legislative trip was a great experience for her because she wanted to pursue a career in lobbying after graduating from Northwest. The group created a legislative bill in 2003 and presented it to the State Farm Bureau. The Collegiate Farm Bureau met in Valk the second and fourth Tuesdays of every month and was open to agricultural majors as well as anyone interested in agricultural government issues.
