The farm financial situation overshadowed many of the discussions at the American Farm Bureau Federation Convention. Minnesota Farm Bureau President Dan Glessing doesn’t see an easy fix. “From an organizational standpoint, we’re looking at a multifaceted approach, whether that’s more trade or increased domestic uses, like an E15 situation, or whole milk in schools, which we just saw signed into law.” In addition, the focus is on lowering our farm input costs. “It’s not going to be one thing that gets us back to being profitable; it’s going to take a foundation of several things.”
