Rail service, and short line rail in particular, is hugely important for the success of Michigan ag. Exciting to have a MABA member company, Lake State Railway, host a Cabinet officer and key Congressional leader to announce major new freight rail infrastructure investment.

👏 Keith and our entire MABA Leadership Group did an awesome job interacting with policy leaders in DC!

Thank you to Commodity Futures Trading Commissioner Commissioner Christy Goldsmith Romero for visiting Michigan this week! The CFTC plays an integral role in our industry, and we appreciate you for taking time to learn more about Michigan agriculture.

We appreciate Sen. Debbie Stabenow, Secretary Tom Vilsack and Rep. Dan Kildee for a great discussion with Michigan ag leaders in Frankenmuth. Thank you for taking time to discuss conservation opportunities, supply chain challenges & many other issues important to our industry.

Thank you Representative Lisa McClain for visiting Nutrien Ag Solutions in Brown City to learn more about the ag retail sector, and its important role in the success of Michigan agriculture! MABA and our members appreciate your strong support for our industry.

This is the right move and supports the strong economic relationship between Michigan and Canada. We have appreciated Embassy of Canada US and Canada in Detroit for engaging with our industry on this issue during recent months.

Took time to enjoy Peak Fall 🍁 this morning. Thanks City of Grand Rapids & Grand Rapids Parks & Rec for maintaining world-class parks!

There’s nothing like a November General #ElectionDay. Hats off to those with a long day/night ahead to make democracy function - election workers, clerks, campaign staff & vols, press - and to all those who VOTE!

Michigan agriculture has a true champion and friend in Sen. Debbie Stabenow. We thank you for your service to the people of Michigan, and for stepping up time and again as a strong voice for Michigan's agriculture sector and rural businesses.

Your visit was a highlight for our MABA members this week, Sen. Debbie Stabenow! Thank you for being part of our Winter Conference and for your strong support of Michigan agriculture.

Enjoyed seeing many MABA members in the crowd and exhibit hall at the Great Lakes Crop Summit today. Great job on this year’s event by Michigan Corn, Michigan Soybean & #MichiganWheat! #GLCS2023

It’s important to have Michigan — which produces the second most diverse mix of crops and commodities in America — represented on the U.S. House Agriculture Committee. Rep. Elissa Slotkin will continue to be a strong voice for Michigan ag and rural businesses on this key House committee.

I don’t necessarily agree, but I understand this argument. I will not understand if there isn’t a MacGuyery project to snag this thing. We did it in the Cold War with C-130s with the Fulton Skyhook and Corona satellite film canister capture programs! (1/2)

The MABA Leadership Group has been in DC this week, meeting with our national industry partners and highlighting Michigan agriculture for policymakers. Thanks to leaders at White House Office of Public Engagement, Dept. of Agriculture and Embassy of Canada US for your time! The group heads to Capitol Hill today.

Great to meet with MABA to talk about our food supply chains & creating new opportunities for Michigan’s farmers & producers. I’m one of the new members of the Ag Committee & I’m eager to get to work on things like the Farm Bill to support our diverse agricultural economy.

Thank you Chair Julie Brixie for leading this hearing spotlighting stewardship and innovation in agriculture, and our industry’s strong partnership with MSU CANR!
