The Minnesota Farm Bureau Federation (MFBF) Board of Directors recently set its 2022 legislative session priority issues for the organization. The issues are established in Farm Bureau policy set by our membership based on current events impacting rural Minnesota and opportunities in the current legislative environment.
The six areas include:
Supply Chain: Address food and agriculture supply chain challenges both in the short- and long-term to ensure access to markets and a safe and secure food supply for everyone.
Sustainability: Lead the way in climate-smart practices that improve our environment through voluntary stewardship, including the increased use of renewable fuels that reduce emissions and investments into continued soil health practices.
Workforce development: Build a strong workforce to address ongoing labor needs, including through career and technical programs.
Rural communities: Strengthen our rural communities by investing in infrastructure, ensuring reliable broadband, and increasing the availability of childcare.
Healthcare: Work towards increased affordability and availability of health insurance and healthcare -- including mental health resources.
Research and Investment: Drive the future of agriculture in Minnesota through research, innovation and investment.
