ST. PAUL — Minnesota Farm Bureau Federation (MFBF) encourages everyone to recognize every day as Earth Day.
“In agriculture, every day is Earth Day. April 22 is the day where we emphasize the importance of our natural resources and share agriculture’s story,” said MFBF President Kevin Paap. “As farmers, we pride ourselves in caring for our water, air, land and its resources. Conserving and protecting the earth for your children and ours is our top priority.”
“Farmers are involved in numerous conservation efforts with the goal of protecting the environment, water and providing habitat for wildlife,” said Paap. “Seeking continuous improvement using today’s technology is a priority for today’s farmers and ranchers in order to preserve the environment for future generations.”
“Today’s farmers produce food, fiber, feed and renewable fuel using tools such as global positioning satellites and biotechnology,” said Paap. “Minnesota Farm Bureau is proud of the dedication and hard work of our farmer and rancher members who care for our natural resources while producing a quality, safe food supply.”
