MN Rep. Samantha Vang (DFL) District: 38B

 

We welcome Minnesota Representative from District 38B Samantha Vang to our September meeting. Samantha (Brooklyn Center) will bring us up to date on last session’s accomplishments, focusing especially on conservation. She chaired the Agriculture Finance and Policy Committee and sat on the Environment and Natural Resources Finance and Policy too.

 

Many of our chapter members favor regenerative agriculture methods as does the Representative. This method of farming which is central to the Ike's Upper Mississippi River Initiative would keep excessive runoff, nitrates, herbicides and pesticides from polluting our waters and wildlife as it currently does. Getting our farmers to begin adopting these changes is the challenge we ask our legislators to help us with.

 

You are invited to attend our monthly Education/Social meeting, as usual on the 4th Tuesday of the month. Stay afterwards for light refreshments and conversation with Samantha and other attendees.
