My family has been farming in Wisconsin for a few hundred years, and having spent so much time on my grandpa’s farm while growing up taught me how tough farming really is, but also how rewarding it can be. So much has changed within the industry and with the outside forces influencing the farmers of today. Those currently farming face a constantly evolving list of challenges, ranging from market shifts, tariffs, right to repair laws, rising fuel and fertilizer costs, workforce intimidation from immigration enforcement, and so on. I’m excited to meet with the Wisconsin Farmers Union this Saturday to talk about how I can be the best advocate for famers and farm families of Wisconsin and District 8! America’s Dairyland was built by the hard work of our farmers, and I’m committed to working with them to make sure our farming community stays strong for now and the future!
