Md. Farm Bureau Legislative Update
This week, the newly appointed Secretary of Agriculture, Joe Bartenfelder, along with the assistant secretaries, presented to the Education, Health & Environmental Affairs Committee on the Department of Agriculture and its programs.

Farm Bureau members who want to attend need to register ASAP as the registration deadline is this Friday, January 30. Farm Bureau members need to contact Alex Buehler at 410-922-3426 to register.
