The Michigan legislature has funded several new projects in the state’s Department of Agriculture and Rural Development for the next fiscal year.
Legislative Counsel Rebecca Park with Michigan Farm Bureau tells Brownfield $13 million was allocated for agricultural climate resiliency and soil health efforts by farmers.
“Whatever the state can do to provide a conduit to assist them with some of those conservation practices that provide that long-term sustainability in agriculture, I think is a win-win for everyone across the state,” she says.
