MADISON – National Agriculture Day is a time to reflect on the important role that agriculture plays in providing our food, products, clothes, and more. Wisconsin has a long and proud history of farming — family farmers are the heart of every community throughout rural Wisconsin, yet family farms are still struggling and rural communities continue to disappear.

That’s why the first policy paper of her 72-county campaign focused on bold proposals to ensure all Wisconsinites have access to the quality of life they deserve, no matter where they live.
