Farmers prep for Virginia Farm Bureau Legislative Day
Virginia Farm Bureau leaders gear up for Legislative Day on January 29 at the Capitol with a 40 percent turnover in the General Assembly. They will brief lawmakers on top agricultural priorities including conservation funding, nutrient management staffing, and limits on solar arrays on prime farmland. They seek to unify farmland easements under one state entity and stress working lands preservation. Justin Pence of Shenandoah County calls Legislative Day essential for tying real farm stories to policymakers, noting urban legislators also meet rural issues.
