Wisconsin Farmers Union President Darin Von Ruden tells Brownfield state officials will be focusing on four key policy initiatives. “Concentration in the agricultural industry, preserving small and mid-sized farms, family farms shaping climate change policy, and family farmers shaping water quality policy.”
Von Ruden says delegates used a ranked-choice voting system to prioritize four of six possible policy areas, but that doesn’t mean the organization is not seeking positive changes in the meat and dairy sectors.
