On August 23rd I was glad to join members of the Clinton County Farm Bureau for their annual dinner. Throughout the evening, I had the opportunity to hear from farmers about how policies coming out of Washington have affected their ability to remain profitable, so that they may pass down farm land to their children and grandchildren.
