The federation has highlighted its 2025 Priority Issues, which have guided its advocacy and policy efforts.
Among the top priorities for MFBF this session is enhanced funding for the Minnesota Department of Agriculture, support for the Board of Animal Health, and bolstering the Ag Emergency Account. These initiatives are crucial for maintaining the vitality of the agricultural sector in Minnesota, ensuring that it remains a robust part of the state's economy and community well-being.
MFBF President Dan Glessing, Vice President Carolyn Olson, along with Loren Dauer, Director of Public Policy, and Hunter Pederson, Public Policy Specialist, will all be available for interviews to provide more in-depth insights into the outcomes of these legislative efforts and their expected impacts on the farming community.

The information provided by the MFBF during this time is invaluable for understanding the legislative landscape and its implications for agriculture in Minnesota. It is an essential resource for anyone involved in or affected by agricultural policies in the state.
