08/16/10 3:55:15 PM
Minnesota Farm Bureau Federation (MFBF) submitted comments to the Minnesota Center for Rural Policy and Development’s Rural Minnesota Journal publication “What the Next Governor Needs to know about Rural Minnesota.” The publication was unveiled and discussed at a forum during the last day of Farmfest.
In the book, MFBF said that one of the biggest roles the governor of Minnesota plays in supporting Minnesota farmers and ranchers is developing and implementing state programs and policies that promote a positive business climate. One that encourages growth and investment by Minnesota farmers and ranchers and builds on the strengths agriculture has in Minnesota: people, technology, land, water and air.
MFBF also said that Minnesota farmers and ranchers are looking for a Minnesota governor who will listen to them and engage them early and meaningfully in the legislative and regulatory process. Minnesota farmers and ranchers have a vision of a bright future for themselves, their families, their communities and agriculture. They look forward to partnering with Minnesota’s next governor to achieve that vision.
