Good afternoon chapter leaders, friends and supporters of Pheasants Forever. (Please feel free to forward this newsletter)

In this month’s Newsletter, Legislation Action Update, CRP Signup 43, National Award goes to Pine Bluffs, WY and a Field Report by CO FBB Jerry Miller along with the announcement of our two new Farm Bill Biologists. The State Habitat Meeting that was postponed due to a Blizzard has been rescheduled for April 21st in Holyoke, CO, more info to follow. The Vice President of Governmental Affairs for Pheasants Forever Dave Nomsen will be attending our State Habitat Meeting and give an update on the 2012 Farm Bill.

Chapter Leaders-
If you’ve ever questioned Pheasants Forever’s influence on CRP and a strong conservation title within the Federal Farm Bill, please take the time to read this update from PF’s Dave Nomsen and watch the video of the Senate Ag Committee Hearing. PF has been actively working with the NRCS/FSA and Ag Committees to ensure conservation programs in the next Farm Bill are stronger and more effective than ever.
