Monday April 7 Order Patriotic Displays and or Stickers Farm Bureau's AgRecovery Action Plan The 1996 Farm Bill and the "freedom to farm" concept moved agriculture toward greater reliance on markets and producer flexibility in production decisions. In exchange for less direct government assistance, Congress promised farmers and ranchers trade policy reforms and regulatory reforms. From trade sanctions and export policies to wetlands regulations and the Endangered Species Act, Congress and the administration have failed to reform these critical policy issues. Markets have not been opened, and the administration has dramatically increased regulations. In addition to these problems, worldwide demand has been hampered by economic difficulties stemming from the Southeast Asia financial crisis. This situation has reached a critical stage. Direct income assistance, export market development, new risk management products and regulatory relief are needed in 1999 to prevent further disruptions in our ability to produce an abundant, wholesome supply of food while competing in a global agricultural economy. Immediate action is needed to treat U.S. farmers and ranchers fairly and to continue to feed people throughout the world. Specific actions needed in 1999: A. Direct Federal Assistance Approximate Cost, $4 billion

Forage-Livestock System Components Edward B. Rayburn, Extension Specialist Vision Goals Resources Markets Vision Vision is knowing where "you-all" want yourselves, your family, and your farm to be 5 to 10 years from now. It is a planned destination. We all need to have a vision of what we want out of life. Preferably we should write it down and review it on a regular basis. Remember: "If you don't know where you are going, any road will get you there." The vision needs to be larger than the farm. Visioning is one important way to see how the farm operation fits into the rest of life. We need to answer the question: How do my activities and commitments in the home and community (school, church, local organizations) relate to my vision of the farm? I use the term "you-all" since a successful vision should include all members of the management team. These can be the members of a farm family or hired managers on a larger commercial operation. All team members should have a vision of what they want or need. The vision for the family farm or farm business should help the individual achieve the visions they have for themselves. Team work occurs best when the team members share in developing a group vision. The vision for the farm operation should include things such as: how you want the farm and home to look
