Episode: Don't Underestimate The Power Of Attending A Town Board Meeting
Description: Erin Tomasik, from Edge Dairy Farmer Cooperative and the Dairy Business Association, highlights the critical need for farmers to engage with local government boards to counter the rising misinformation about agriculture. She explains that urban sprawl and activist-driven frameworks have led to a surge in local ordinances and restrictive regulations across western and central Wisconsin. Ultimately, the discussion emphasizes that showing up to town and county meetings is just as vital for a farm's survival as participating in state or federal advocacy.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
