Committee hearings are underway in the Minnesota legislature. House Ag, Food, Finance and Policy Committee Chair Jeanne Poppe says early discussions are focused around agricultural research training and the 2018 Farm Bill. There will be a committee hearing on the changes for dairy in the new farm bill on Tuesday. Minnesota Milk Producers Association Executive Director Lucas Sjostrom will be at the hearing. “In Minnesota, we’ve been losing dairy farmers quickly,” explains Poppe. “We need to try and stabilize that so we can continue to have people who are in business stay in business.”
