I recently visited Farmamerica during their Pumpkin Party event. Farmamerica is an important regional asset for everyone who wants to learn about our agricultural history, present and future through hands-on learning experiences. I also met with representatives of larger Mankato agricultural businesses. We had an informative conversation about how agriculture and energy connect and how all Minnesotans are impacted by what is going on within the ag community. Infrastructure Package Approved Congress passed the bipartisan infrastructure deal, providing generational investments all over Minnesota. You can read more here.
