Elissa Slotkin Instagram – Today, I welcomed @secvilsack to Williamston, where we convened nearly 100 members of Michigan’s agriculture community to hear directly from the Secretary on everything from protecting our agricultural diversity, to recent HPAI detections, to the upcoming Farm Bill.
This community was of course affected heavily by the major storms and tornadoes that swept through Mid-Michigan last August, and it’s great to see how far they’ve come thanks to the resilience of the farmers in the area and the dedicated work of emergency management workers.
I’m grateful to the Secretary for coming out and to all of the Michiganders who joined us – especially as we’re right in the middle of planting season! It’s vital that federal policymakers hear directly from the folks on the ground, and that’s exactly what we’re doing today. | Posted on 27/Apr/2024 00:48:23
