The Roundtable will feature House fr=shmen Vicky Hartzler (R-Mo.), Reid Ribble (R-Wis.) and Marlin Stutzman (R-=nd.) discussing their first year in Congress and their priorities for the ond session. Sara Wyant, Editor of Agri-Pulse, will moderate the Roundta=le, which derives its name from Agri-Pulse's "Meet the Freshman"=series. The event will be webcast on Tuesday, March 13, at 9:30 a.m. EDT o= AgWeb.com and Agri-Pulse.com. Viewers will have the opportunity to weigh =n on the conversation on AgWeb.com; <i>Farmers Feeding the World</i>'s Fac=book page; and trending on Twitter at #MeettheFreshman, taking advantage o= the millions of touchpoints of Farm Journal Media.</p><p>One of two main =bjectives of the <i>Farmers Feeding the World</i> campaign is to serve as =n educational catalyst and encourage dialogue about the importance of mode=n agriculture in the context of national and global food security challeng=s. The "Meet the Freshman Roundtable" serves this objective by c=nnecting consumers, producers and thought leaders with a panel of their el=cted representatives to learn more about the lawmakers' views on food and =griculture policy. Similarly, <i>Farmers Feeding the World</i>'s Washingto=, D.C., office has advocated on behalf of modern agriculture's capacity to=end hunger in face-to-face meetings with fifty food and agriculture policy=leaders in its first year, and has served as a host or co-sponsor of a num=er of educational events such as the Farm Journal Forum and the Forum on A=riculture and Adaptation with USDA and the Bipartisan Policy Center.</p><p=The "Meet the Freshman Roundtable" is the latest example of <i>F=rmers Feeding the World</i>'s education and advocacy activities in Washing=on, D.C. "The freshman House members in the 112th Congress have made =p one of the most dynamic and vocal classes of lawmakers," said Charl=ne Finck, President of the Farm Journal Foundation. "We wanted to giv= our farmer audience some insight into what makes this freshman class tick=and hear their thoughts on the issues of the day, including the role of mo=ern agriculture. This discussion is particularly timely given the ongoing =arm bill deliberations on Capitol Hill."</p><p>Sara Wyant said of the=Roundtable: "As members of the House Committee on Agriculture, these =awmakers all face a daunting challenge—trying to craft a 2012 farm b=ll that is fiscally responsible yet provides a strong safety net for farme=s and ranchers. I am delighted that they have allowed us to follow their j=urneys and share their valuable insights as part of our 'Meet the Freshman= series on www.Agri-Pulse.com."</p><p>To follow this and other Farm J=urnal social media events in the coming months, check <a target="_b=ank" href="http://links.mkt1847.com/ctt?kn=3&ms=Mzg5MjI3MjAS1&r=M=U5MTYyNjUyMDYS1&b=0&j=MTMyOTg1ODc4S0&mt=1&rt=0" name="www_agweb_=om_">www.AgWeb.com</a> and <a target="_blank" href="http://links.mkt1G.com/ctt?kn=2&ms=Mzg5MjI3MjAS1&r=MTU5MTYyNjUyMDYS1&b=0&j=MTMyO=g1ODc4S0&mt=1&rt=0" name="www_agweb_com_farmersfeedingth">www.FarmeredingTheWorld.org</a>, follow us on Twitter: <a target="_blank" href="http://links.mkt1847.com/ctt?kn=8&ms=Mzg5MjI3MjAS1&r=MTU5MTYyNjUy=DYS1&b=0&j=MTMyOTg1ODc4S0&mt=1&rt=0" name="twitter_com____Farmereding">@farmersfeeding</a>, and visit the <i>Farmers Feeding the World</=> <a target="_blank" href="http://links.mkt1847.com/ctt?kn=6&ms=M=g5MjI3MjAS1&r=MTU5MTYyNjUyMDYS1&b=0&j=MTMyOTg1ODc4S0&mt=1&rt=0" =ame="www_facebook_com_FarmersFeedin">Facebook page</a>.</p></td><td heig=t="170" colspan="2"><p></p></td></tr><tr bordercolor="#020000"><td h=ight="65" width="97%" align="left"><font size="2" face="Arial, H=lvetica, sans-serif"><b>About the Farm Journal Foundation</b></font><br />=he Farm Journal Foundation is a nonprofit corporation dedicated to sustain=ng U.S. agriculture's ability to serve the vital needs of a growing world =opulation with education and assistance focused on the unique interests of=people and organizations aligned with U.S agriculture.
