The 2009 NASCOE Legislative Conference was held in Washington D.C on March 17th and 18th, 2009.  Approximately
180 FSA county office employees made the journey to our nation’s capitol to discuss important topics related to FSA, its
employees, and American agriculture, with our lawmakers.  In a united voice, NASCOE members brought the message
of FSA Modernization to the halls of Congress.  The FSA Modernization message focused on three specific issues:  1)
Reassignment of program responsibilities for conservation programs, 2) FSA’s potential role in a mandatory Animal ID
program, and 3) FSA and RMA relationship and the future of gathering crop acreage data, yield data, and claims
management.  Additionally, NASCOE discussed several employee benefits items with our nation’s leaders.

NoCASCOE members that attended this year’s conference did an excellent job of delivering the NASCOE message.  
Seven NoCASCOE members visited all 13 NC Congressional offices and both Senator’s offices.  Many thanks to Jeanie
Setser, Lorraine Dillard, Martha Mills, Neil Burnette, Betty Kornegay, and Rosie Hale for generously giving of their time
and talents to promote FSA, its county office employees, and American Agriculture.

Respectfully submitted,
Kevin Wooten
