The National Association of Conservation Districts has recently published a 12 page booklet outlining the 2008 Farm Bill, and how it relates to woodland owners. The pamphlet, named "The USDA Farm Bill: What's in it for Woodland Owners," is available to anyone interested in learning about the opportunities available. The PDF file is available at this link:  NACD
