Ag Day at the Capitol

On Wednesday, I attended Wisconsin Farm Bureau's, Ag Day at the Capitol. It was designed to get producers to Madison and teach them how and give them to experience in contacting their legislators. It is an extremely educational event. I traveled with FDL Co. Farm Bureau members Jim Schneider, Bernard Halbur, Don Schmitz, Tony Koenig, Tim Haack. Also attending from Fond du Lac County were Richard Julka, Trayton Greenfield, Duane Bille and Rueben Hopp. I have been down there with most of them before but it is always a ton of fun and you all know I Love Fun! Issues like Health Care, Conservation, Anumal ID, and much more are discussed Specifically, We talked to Senator Carol Roessler and Rep. Al Ott, Sec of Ag Rod Nilsestuen and Attorney Ron Kuehn. Ron is the attorney who handled the law suit involving the cranberry growers and the A.G. this past year. It is great to have organizations like Farm Bureau that take the time to not just educate their members but INVOLVE them. Til next time...
