Supplemental bill would bring major dollars to Michigan ag

A $1.4 billion one-time investment in Michigan agriculture aims to make major improvements in infrastructure, food distribution, and other areas of one of the state’s largest industries.

“We will shorten the supply chain channels, making sure we have secure, safe, and nutritional food available for all.”

State Senator and bill sponsor Roger Victory tells Brownfield part of the funding is earmarked for needs in rural communities which aren’t equipped to support processors that want to locate near where needed commodities are grown.
