Minnesota Corn Growers bring gubernatorial candidates to farms
The Minnesota Corn Growers (MCGA) are giving gubernatorial candidates a unique opportunity to better understand farming.
MCGA public policy director Amanda Bilek says the association extended invitations to every major party candidate hoping Minnesota’s next governor could visit a corn farm this fall.
“With the candidates, some have done some work in agriculture (and) have been on farms themselves. But overall, because agriculture plays such a vital role in our state’s economy in addition to the role in Greater Minnesota communities, we thought it was a great time to spend a little bit of time one-on-one with a farm family.”
She tells Brownfield candidates will see modern technology in action and hear directly from farmers concerns related to transportation, regulations, and other issues.
