The
Minnesota Farm Bureau Federation sponsored the Farmfest forums for the first time this year. “The more that our members and farmers in general have the knowledge and information, the better decisions they’ll make whether it is at the ballot box, in their farming operations or their personal lives,” said Dan Glessing, president, MFBF. Glessing sees the lame-duck session as the best chance to pass the farm bill. “If we get into next year’s session, we’ve got that Tax Cut and Jobs Act expiring and that will take a lot of oxygen out of the room in next year’s session. Let’s get this thing done.”
