AG DAY AT THE CAPITOL
Friday, January 8th, 2010 -- 10:02 AM
From Wisconsin Ag Connection:The annual Ag Day at the Capitol has been scheduled for February 3 at the Monona Terrace in Madison. The event is the largest gathering of farmers from across the state representing a variety of farm groups to learn more about priority state issues, and to lobby their state lawmakers as a unified voice for agriculture.
The forum gets underway with a briefing on state issues, followed by a walk to the Capitol to meet with representatives to lobby on issues favorable for Wisconsin farmers. The Wisconsin Farm Bureau Federation says discussion topics will likely include state climate change legislation, use value assessment of farmland, animal welfare and proposed changes to the state's non-point regulations.
