Grand Forks farmer Nathan Schlief serves on the American Farm Bureau Promotion and Education Committee. “Our main point is to create a resource base that all state Farm Bureaus can go back to and recreate those successful events in our their states and counties.” Schlief would also like to help nurture understanding between farmers and ranchers in North Dakota. “One thing I’ve looked at it is having an event where we take farmers from one side of the state that are primarily more row crop farmers and take them over to ranchers in the western side of the state so when we have a better understanding about policy and where everybody stands.”
