The Director of the Michigan Agriculture Department says he wholeheartedly supports the state’s voluntary agriculture stewardship program, but after 20 years, it’s time for a historic look to reinvigorate it.
“MAEAP is a program that everyone in the state of Michigan should be proud of, it’s recognized nationally, so we want to just make it stronger.”
Gary McDowell tells Brownfield the department is opposing parts of state Senator Kevin Daily’s recently introduced bill which would renew fees to continue the program, but not the program itself.
