Nearly 200 people recently gathered in southwest Minnesota
to discuss the farm economy.
Wabasso livestock farmer Paul Sobocinski says he helped coordinate Saturday’s farm crisis meeting in Redwood Falls hosted by the Land Stewardship Project.
“We see very similar lines to the farm crisis of the 1980’s when farmers were under severe financial pressure then.”
He tells Brownfield the group created a farm crisis statement that was presented to Minnesota Agriculture Commissioner Thom Petersen and Attorney General Keith Ellison.
