On Thursday, Senate Majority Leader Erin Murphy traveled with State Senator Rob Kupec in the Moorhead and Barnesville areas. “A couple of years ago, Minnesotans gave us the power of a governing majority and we took that seriously,” said Murphy. “We put Minnesotan’s lives and progress ahead of gridlock at every turn.” At a small farm in northern Clay County, Kupec highlighted the improvements made to the grain indemnity fund. “If a grain elevator goes belly up, particularly, those small farmers are really impacted. It could be five years before they get pennies on the dollar back, but having the grain indemnity fund in place and fully funded is a nice security blanket for the farmer.”
