County Farm Bureau meetings are underway throughout Minnesota right now. Minnesota Farm Bureau District DIrector Shane Isane is attending many of these meetings and said drought is a frequent topic. “Our particular area has been very dry this summer,” reports Isane, who farms at Badger, Minnesota. “We’re seeing the effects of it now, especially with our livestock. We started feeding our cattle a couple weeks ago so that’s going to eat into our hay supply and we’re concerned about that.” Isane emphasized MFBF is a grassroots organization with members developing policy.
