Legislative Conference
Ag Council sends a huge “thank you” to our Blue Diamond board member Alicia Rockwell and all Blue Diamond attendees for joining us this past spring for our Legislative Conference. Attendees spent the day reaching out to dozens of legislators to discuss critical issues, such as water, budget items, and ultra-processed food. We appreciate all who helped us amplify agriculture’s voice on these consequential issues. Read more about Ag Council’s work at www.agcouncil.org.
