Farm Bill

We attended the public meeting for the U.S. Farm Bill that was lead by Michigan U.S. Senator Debbie Stabenow and Kansas U.S. Senator Pat Roberts at the Kellogg Center.  Just a few highlights that stress how important agriculture is to Michigan:
  • Agriculture is Michigan’s 2nd largest industry.
  • We are 8th in the nation for milk production (Go Cows)!
  • We lead the nation in production of tart cherries, blueberries, and black beans.
  • Michigan is the second most agriculturally diverse state in the country.  
  • There are 1 million cows in Michigan (job security for us future vets).
