[Ctyfc] Congressman Greg Casar // Farm Bill Round Table

[Carolina Mueller]

Hi All,

For those who are interested in maybe attending, but are not sure how to
prepare for a conversation with your legislator, I am happy to hop on a
call and walk you through it. My full-time job is with the National Young
Farmers Coalition, and I just had the privilege of doing this recently for
the Young Farmers Fly-in into DC
<https://www.youngfarmers.org/2023/03/2023-young-farmer-fly-in/> 😊
Coincidentally,
there will be a free virtual webinar the evening before on how to lobby
effectively hosted by RAFI-USA
<https://www.tfaforms.com/5056571?utm_content=buffer70ea7&utm_medium=social&utm_source=facebook.com&utm_campaign=buffer>,
if you want to go deep.

For a little more context, Greg Casar <https://casar.house.gov/> is a
freshman representative, you can view his district here
<https://www.casarforcongress.com/districtmap>. This meeting is a really
important opportunity because he sits on the House Agriculture committee.
This year is a Farm Bill year (read a little more about the Farm Bill here
<https://sustainableagriculture.net/our-work/campaigns/fbcampaign/what-is-the-farm-bill/>),
which means that BILLIONS of dollars are going to be allocated to programs
that either support you in your farming journey... or not. That's why these
advocacy opportunities are so important! Happy to nerd out more if anyone
has any questions.

You can reach me via phone at 518-643-3564 ext. 733, via email at
carolina at youngfarmers.org, or make an appointment on my calendar

for
a zoom call.

In community,

*Carolina Mueller*
