Your MI GreenStone PAC and WI Farm Credit PAC finished 2022 strong with meetings and checks being delivered to both Senate and House of Representative legislators and 2022 candidates. All the planned disbursements were completed in Michigan and Wisconsin! The meetings were productive as connections were made and the cooperative structure of borrower-owned lending association was communicated.
At the Federal level, the legislative activities have been very dynamic from ag labor to the Farm Bill. The Farm Credit System, through individual Farm Credit associations and the Farm Credit Council, has been able to provide prospective as called upon. None of this would be possible without your engagement and commitment to raise legislative awareness of rural communities, agriculture, GreenStone, and the Farm Credit System.
GreenStone will continue to build relationships for future support and strengthen the recognition of our members. Conversations will continue to take place in an effort to unite and expand our individual and collective legislative outreach efforts. The goal is to increase the awareness of the overall value of rural communities and the agriculture industry to our economies, and Farm Credit’s vital role in that. Your continued support is commended and we look forward to continuing to involve members in delivering these messages!
The MI GreenStone PAC and WI Farm Credit PAC annual drives are going on now! Be sure to send your voluntary Patronage pledge before January 31 to direct dollars from your Patronage check to the PAC; or you can make a direct contribution to the PAC at any time. Join hundreds of your fellow members in strengthening the recognition of agriculture as a key component to a thriving economy!
