@mnmilk @AricForMN @RobKupec @TorreyWestrom @RepSamanthaVang @Pursell4MNHouse @ThommyPetersen So far, DMC in 2018 Farm Bill has been source of $193M in indemnity payments for Minnesota, after $8M from DAIRI and another ~$50+M investment by farmers enrolling. We thank you!

Had opportunity to testify for @mnmilk DAIRI today. $8 investment million in 2019 led to: $24.7M extra (& counting) for MN dairy farmers. Thx for opportunity to testify @AricForMN @RobKupec @TorreyWestrom @RepSamanthaVang Rep. Anderson @Pursell4MNHouse & comments @ThommyPetersen.

#AgriGrowth member @mnmilk named their 2022 Producer of the Year! It’s a cool story of how farmers are connecting with consumers and inviting people to experience #dairy farming firsthand.

On Monday, I had the opportunity to visit the Leonard family dairy farm. Six generations of Leonards have farmed here, and it was amazing to see and hear how they have adapted and changed over the years!

Our deepest condolences to the family, friends and office of Representative Jim Hagedorn. He passed away after a battle with cancer last night at age 59. Rep. Hagedorn and his staff had an open door to us always. May he rest in peace.
