U.S. Sen. Sherrod Brown (D., Ohio) is set to hold a roundtable with area farmers Monday in Oregon to gather comment for the 2018 Farm Bill.

The meeting is at 1 p.m. at Myers Farm, 6810 Cedar Point Road.

Mr. Brown, a member of the Senate Agriculture Committee, is to be joined by officials with the U.S. Department of Agriculture, along with farmers and advocates from agricultural, conservation, and sportsmen organizations.

Those groups include Ducks Unlimited, Pheasants Forever, The Nature Conservancy, Ohio Corn and Wheat Growers Association, Ohio Pork Producers, Lucas County Farm Bureau, Ohio Farm Bureau and Ohio Ecological Food and Farm Association.
