A delegation of Minnesota Farm Bureau members met with lawmakers and officials in Washington D.C. Education and open dialogue continues for farm organizations as lawmakers work to pass the next Farm Bill. MNFB Director Shane Isane of Badger, MN says this trip to the capitol was full of opportunity to advocate for producers. “Most of our focus was on Farm Bill. Priorities included crop insurance, the dairy program, and conservation programs, WOTUS, ag labor and we discussed issues with H2A programs as well,” says Isane. Isane says meetings with the EPA and the UK Embassy were a unique opportunity to build relationships. “You make those connections and you never really know when those might be used down the road.”
