Field to the Hill

Join us for Field to the Hill 2012-May 8-10

Field to the Hill is an annual event organized by Florida Farm Bureau that allows members to visit their elected officials in Washington DC.  Join us this May as we will meet with our representatives to discuss matters such as the 2012 Farm Bill, immigration and estate tax reform, as well as water and budget issues.
