Bob Stallman, chairman of the USFRA and president of the American Farm Bureau Federation said, “This is one of our strongest panels yet and it’s fitting since they’ll be examining one of the hottest topics in the agricultural community: farm size. The purpose of the Food Dialogues event is to join in the balanced discussions on provocative topics, like farm size, and our goal is to create a conversation that examines this subject from all angles.”
