At Minnesota Farmfest, State Senator Bill Weber (R-Luverne) was recently named a Family Farm Champion by Minnesota Farmers Union (MFU) President Gary Wertish. The MFU presented Senator Weber with this award for his work on the Senate Taxes Committee and his strong support for Minnesota farm families.

“Thank you to MFU for recognizing for my work at the Capitol on behalf of our Minnesota farmers,” Senator Weber said. “Our family farms are the foundation of our state’s thriving agricultural economy, and I will continue to serve as a strong advocate on their behalf.”

MFU is a nonprofit membership-based organization that works to protect and enhance the economic interests and quality of life of family farmers and ranchers and rural communities. For more information on the organization, please visit: www.mfu.org.
