A Farm Bureau government relations specialist says the latest change in Congressional seats from this week’s Census report highlights the need for farmers and ranchers to serve in government.
Matt Kapp with the Michigan Farm Bureau tells Brownfield, “Regardless of what those district maps look like, we still need farmers representing agriculture in government.” “I would encourage farmers, not just in Michigan, but across the country to step up,” he says.
Michigan Farm Bureau currently has set a goal to increase farmers in government by 20 percent by 2022.
