Minnesota Turkey Growers Association lobbyist Bruce Kleven addressed the MTGA Summer Summit saying the focus for turkey growers in the next legislative session will be disease preparedness and response. “We’ll be paying attention to avian influenza. If there ever gets to be an outbreak, we want to have the funding in place at the Minnesota Department of Ag, the Board of Animal Health and the University of Minnesota.” Kleven says agriculture will likely need to take a defensive strategy duing the 2024 legislative session.
