EAGAN, Minn. – The Minnesota Farm Bureau Federation (MFBF) is set to host its annual Day on the Hill on National Ag Day, March 19, 2024.
The event invites members from across the state to come together at the state Capitol to share the stories and impact of agriculture. Last year, nearly 130 members made the trip.
“The agriculture industry plays a significant role in the state of Minnesota, and we’re looking forward to highlighting that at Day on the Hill,” said MFBF Director of Public Policy Pierce Bennett. “Seeing our members connect with elected officials and share their stories is always exciting.”
Members will gather at the Minnesota Department of Revenue at 10 a.m. for a briefing before heading to the Capitol steps to hear from agriculture leaders and elected officials around 11:15 a.m. There will also be a tractor on display on the mall, along with facts about Minnesota agriculture. From there, members will head into the Capitol to meet with their local elected officials.
