Guest: Stu Lourey, Government Relations Director, Minnesota Farmers Union

“2022 Minnesota Legislative Session Preview”

Perfect timing since the 2022 session will start just days after this Open Forum. Stu will set the stage for us: significant committees and their chairs, legislative deadlines if known, political dynamics, supplemental budget, etc. Potential issues emerging from the Specialty Crop Work Group, the Meat Processing Work Group, etc.

MFMA provides services, programs, and leadership that support and promote farmers' markets across Minnesota and our Tribal Nations.

We envision a community of vibrant, profitable, and professionally managed Minnesota farmers’ markets that:

Cultivates, nourishes, and inspires a vibrant local foods community;
Provides accessibility to all to local farm fresh foods;
Allows local food producers to thrive and grow;
Ensures these opportunities are available to everyone regardless of ethnicity, age, gender identity, or economic standing.
