Michigan Farm Bureau kicked off its virtual annual meeting series Wednesday night remembering a year like no other.
President Carl Bednarski made his address to members online saying at the close of their Washington Leadership Seminar in March, the world literally shut down.
“Our lives changed, the world changed, the building for the future stopped. There was panic and people were scared. But agriculture knew what we needed to continue to do— produce food.”
Bednarski cited how the organization lobbied on behalf of members throughout the governor’s numerous Executive Orders, including the largest call to action seen in the group’s history asking the governor to reopen greenhouses, nurseries, and landscaping businesses.
