Michigan Farm Bureau members are highlighting trade, labor, and sustainability issues in meetings with members of Congress in Washington D.C. this week.
President Carl Bednarski tells Brownfield Senate Ag Committee Chair Debbie Stabenow and her staff appear to have shared priorities in the 2023 Farm Bill.
“It was a good discussion, I think everyone is on the same page also in trying to get that farm bill done by the end of the year,” he says. “It will be quite a challenge, but everyone is trying to make that their goal.”
He says farmers will also meet one-on-one with their Representatives, including Elissa Slotkin who is serving on the House Ag Committee.
