All you farmers in Detroit will be glad to know how hard Sen. Stabenow has been working for you. MARCH 26 | FEATURED STORY Farm Bill Gives Big Boost to Water and Land Conservation Efforts Senator Stabenow, Chairwoman of the Senate Committee on Agriculture, Nutrition and Forestry, spent time in both Grand Rapids and Frankenmuth last week to discuss implementation of the 2014 Farm Bills historic investment in conservation of the Great Lakes and private lands. Chairwoman Stabenow met with Michigan agriculture and conservation leaders to get input and discuss what the next steps are as the U.S. Department of Agriculture begins implementing the new law. The Farm Bill includes a new regional partnership program that will protect our Great Lakes and watersheds for future generations to enjoy. It will also open up new areas for people to access private lands for hunting and fishing. The Farm Bill is the biggest investment our country makes in conservation and includes a new regional partnership program that will protect our Great Lakes for future generations. I will continue working closely with Michigan farmers and conservation leaders, who are on the front lines protecting our Great Lakes and natural resources, as we work to put the Farm Bills reforms into effect, Senator Stabenow told the groups.
