47. Meeting Your Lawmakers Where They Are: Advocating for Agriculture During the Congressional Recess
Corn growers need to act now in order to support some important pieces of legislation that are moving through Congress in Washington, D.C.
The Farm Bill. The Next Generation Fuels Act. Opening up global trade opportunities to lower the cost of inputs.
Your lawmakers need to hear from constituents like you who support these issues.
And now is the perfect time to let them know.
With lawmakers returning to their home districts for the August recess, we have a golden opportunity to advocate for the issues that matter most to the agriculture community.
So in this episode, we’re talking to Lindsay Croke, the marketing director at Illinois Corn, and Luke Crumley, director of public policy and sustainability at Ohio Corn and Wheat, about how local advocacy makes a national impact.
They’ll offer practical advice for farmers to stay informed and effectively communicate with their elected representatives and staff, and discuss the opportunities that are available at this time of year for growers to show up and be heard.
