Farmfest kicks off Tuesday in Minnesota’s Redwood County. Over 400 exhibits will be on display. In addition to the massive trade show, Farmfest Forums Coordinator Kent Thiesse says the forums are also a highlight. “We have educational forums each day and this year we’re having a heavy focus on ag policy issues including the next farm bill.” The House Agriculture Committee will host a farm bill listening session Wednesday. Thiesse said there will be more big names on the Wick Building forum stage including U.S. Trade Ambassador Doug McKalip, USDA Undersecretary Robert Bonnie and Senator Amy Klobuchar. The Red River Farm Network will report from Farmfest. RRFN’s coverage is sponsored by the Minnesota Soybean Research and Promotion Council, Minnesota Farmers Union and Minnesota Corn Growers Association.
