“As I got older, I realized that many people are disconnected from farming, and that creates a misunderstanding about the industry. That’s what led me to a degree in agricultural communications/leadership. I want to use journalism, media, and youth programming to help people better understand agriculture and support the farmers and families who work every day to produce our food. Agriculture has given me so many opportunities, and I want my career to be about giving back to the industry that raised me,” said Wyatt Morrow, a Clinton County Farm Bureau member.

Recently, staff provided interested party testimony on two pieces of legislation that would have direct impact on land use, private property rights and energy development.
