The Omnibus Budget that recently passed, contains funding for FARAD for one year. The members of the program want to acknowledge the donations some of our stakeholders have made to keep us operating. With one year’s funding it is hoped the authorization of the FARAD program in the Farm Bill can be the foundation of more stable funding.
