Open Fields initiative by Ryan Birss, Sep 10, 2008 (11:55pm)

This bill became a part of the Farm Bill for this year. It will create an “Open Fields Initiative” which would give grants to states to give to owners of private land such as farms and forests. These grants would encourage the land owners to allow hunters and fisherman use their land. It is supported by the NRA and the National Farm Union.
