Dodge/Olmsted County Convention

Dodge and Olmsted County Farmers Unions will hold their annual County Convention July 11 at the Matt and Maggie Kruger farm.

As a grassroots policy organization, annual county conventions (aka annual business meetings) are the building blocks of MFU policy. It is the participation of members, through attending and bringing forth resolutions, that gives Farmers Union a strong voice in St. Paul and Washington, D.C.

The meeting will include election of officers, election of delegates to the state convention and a call for resolutions.

Speakers include Matt Kruger and Martin Larsen. Larsen, of the Olmsted SWCD, will speak about nitrate concerns in southeast Minnesota. Kruger will talk about aviation and carbon intensity
