The Farmers’ Voice is Being Heard

The North Dakota legislative sessions continue to move toward the finish line, but for farmers like Drew Courtney, that doesn’t mean they can slow down. Courtney, a North Dakota Corn Growers Association board member, has spent much of the winter in Bismarck testifying on behalf of farmers. “We’re having good conversations and letting people know that the North Dakota Corn Growers Association is at the table and here to help move the needle not only for the corn industry in the state but agriculture in general.” Property tax reform is a big issue during this session. “If we’re going to be getting some tax reform in city limits, somebody has to pick up the bill on that, and we don’t want to have too much of that get put back on any of the agricultural land.”
