Farm leaders across the country are hoping for a positive vote in congress this week on a new Farm Bill, as well as a possible vote to pass year-round E15 sales nationwide.
Minnesota Farm Bureau President Dan Glessing, farmer from the Waverly area here in Wright County, is among a delegation invited to meet with lawmakers in Washington D-C prior to discussion and a possible vote on the House floor…
“Critical time to be here, we’re here to share the story of the importance of getting this done. Not only from a farmer’s standpoint and the certainty that that provides, but also aspects of rural development and making sure that those communities are strong. I don’t think that folks realize that there are dollars that are designated, or policies that are designated for rural areas to make sure that those communities can remain strong for farmers and ranchers to be a part of. So, it’s a critical time and hopefully there’s enough momentum to get the Farm Bill across the finish line, as well as year-round E15.”
