The Minnesota Farm Bureau is applauding the work of this year’s state legislature. MFB Public Policy Spokesperson Hunter Pederson says lawmakers accomplished a lot while facing a looming budget deficit…
“I feel pretty good about what got done for farmers and ranchers this session. The ag bill was one of the first ones done – it got done during the regular session. And you know we’re really encouraged for that bipartisan support for agriculture.”
Pederson says the ag budget includes funding to combat avian influenza and livestock disease, for wolf depredation and elk crop and fence damage, generational farming, and the farm business management program.
