Wisconsin farmer says discussing issues with lawmakers is important

A farmer says it’s important to let lawmakers know what is important to their operations. 

Sandy Larson from Larson Acres near Evansville, Wisconsin tells Brownfield it was necessary for her to take part in the Dairy Business Association’s Dairy Day at the Capitol and make face-to-face contact with her elected officials about agriculture issues. “I came today to make a contact with the people that represent me in my area. I have a new legislative person, and I really want to make that face-to-face contact.”

Nearly one-third of the Wisconsin Legislature has new, first-time representatives and senators.
