EAGAN, Minn. – Minnesota Farm Bureau President Dan Glessing has issued a statement on the government shutdown and its impact.
“The shutdown is affecting everyone. Farmers have lost access to USDA resources, and now families and communities are losing support for vital food programs,” said MFBF President Dan Glessing. “Farmers work hard to feed our communities, and Farm Bureau has long partnered with food shelves and organizations across the state to address food insecurity. Now, it’s time for both sides of Congress to come together, put Americans first, and keep our country moving forward.”
