* What are the local food production trends in your area? Do you think your local farmers produce enough food for your area 5-10 years from now? What areas of production need improvement?
* The SARE program was commissioned, by Congress, to get its research results to the farmer and rancher. Has this been a success in your area of influence? Why or why not?
* What type of research, education and development is going to be necessary over the next 10 years to help economically sustain farming and the environment?
* If Western SARE received (from Congress) an additional $1 million per region, what types of projects should be targeted or emphasized?
* What barriers are in place that prevent underserved groups, including socially disadvantaged groups, from applying for and receiving SARE funding, and how can those barriers be removed?
