ARLINGTON, VA -- The USA Rice Federation and Ducks Unlimited partnered on a print ad in the current USA Today special edition newspaper, "U.S. Department of Agriculture: America's Farming Landscape."
The half-page ad thanks USDA and the Natural Resource Conservation Service for their visionary support of the organizations' joint Regional Conservation Partnership Program proposal that was approved earlier this year and is resulting in some $10 million being designated specifically for rice farmers engaging in approved conservation and stewardship practices.
The 96-page newspaper features articles on Agriculture Secretary Vilsack, school nutrition programs, hot button ag political issues, and more, and is being distributed widely to tens of thousands of farm-owners nationwide, as well as throughout USDA and their many agencies.
Digital copies have also been made available to Land Grant Universities, members of the Future Farmers of America, and the national and state 4-H offices.
