Meet the Central MN Young Farmers Coalition. They want more Young Farmers to be able to farm and they are working to remove obstacles. They met with @GovTimWalz today and stopped to see me too. I'm proud to carry their Next Gen Farmer Program legislation. @cmnyfc

Today is our 2019 Day on the Hill! We're advocating for a State Farmer Apprenticeship program to help bring more folks into farming. Follow our activities at #MoreFarmersMN.

Climate change will make dry areas dryer and wet areas wetter, both of which will complicate crop production. If emissions continue at their current rate or increase, some regions will see changes as early as 2020, giving farmers little time to adapt. reuters.com/article/us-glo…

Our sincerest thank you to #MNleg Ag Committee for hearing HF2202 this morning! Thank you @tslippert for leading on the bill! #AgDay19 #MoreFarmers

The Sanneruds, who farm hops, hay & cut flowers in Minnesota, share a commitment to conservation. "The most important aspect of farming is your environment. We’re lucky to have the piece of land that we do, so we’re going to steward it to the best of our ability.” #NationalAgDay

Happy National Agriculture Day! Every day - but today especially - we celebrate the family farmers and ranchers who provide our food, fuel and fiber, take care of our land and water, and generate economic activity in rural and urban communities. #AgDay19 nfu.org/2019/03/14/cel…

Our members are ready to testify on HF2022 to create a Next Generation Farmer Apprenticeship Program! #MNleg #MNag #MoreFarmers

Women farmers - who cultivate over 300 million acres and contribute $13B to the national economy - are critical to the success of American agriculture, which is why NFU has been dedicated to their education and empowerment for generations. #InternationalWomensDay

Thank you @tslippert for leading The Next Gen MN Farmer Act in the house! And @RepPoppe @RHamilton542 @reprickhansen @BrandforHouse Rep Tabke and Rep Poston for co-authoring! #MNleg #MoreFarmers

This is what keeps me up at night. Grateful to be hearing about this at convention.

We need to lead on climate change. For one, it’s the right thing to do. We can’t solve this problem without agriculture being involved. The other reason is that if we aren’t at the table, someone else will make these important decisions for us. #nfu2019

Our 40-strong representation at #NFU2019! We're ready to stand Farmers Union strong with our fellow members from across the country.
