About Washington Watch
Washington Watch is held each spring in our nation's capitol and gives members the opportunity to hear from agriculture organizations, officials from the United States Department of Agriculture, and leadership of the House and Senate. Rapidly changing ag policy affects everyone up and down the food chain, and it’s more important than ever for U.S. farmers and ranchers to hear reporting on ag issues happening in Washington D.C. that impact their daily farming and ranching operations. The goal for Washington Watch is for NAFB broadcaster members to access national interviews and content, adding their local angle to connect with their listeners.
Whether you’re a broadcaster, broadcasting management/sales professional, an allied industry partner or an agriculture communications student, Washington Watch is a unique and rewarding experience! For one low registration, attendees receive an NAFB-subsidized hotel rate in Washington, D.C., all meals and receptions, a special evening of entertainment and full access to all visits on Capitol Hill.
