Advocacy
TAKING ACTION FOR OUR MEMBERS
Our priority is to protect our members' best interests. We ensure our members' voices are heard at both the state and federal levels. Advocacy is a key component of our government affairs work. We carefully monitor, track and advocate for or against legislative or regulatory proposals that can affect the nation's and the states' agricultural interests. Our team covers all aspects including letter writing, phone calling campaigns as well as trips to Sacramento and Washington, D.C.
