Local Policy

Minnesota Local Policy

As farmers, it’s important to be informed of potential proposals occurring at the local and county level. Whether it’s through public meetings, community engagement or direct communication with local officials, being proactive in these discussions is key. With the right information and support from Minnesota Milk, farmers can advocate effectively for their needs and ensure that our collective voice is represented in shaping policies that affect us all. Your involvement makes a difference, and together, we can work toward a future that benefits the agricultural community.  Minnesota Milk is here to help advocate and respond to ordinances and proposals at a local level, as well as state and federal.
