Michigan's Ag Plan: MAP to the Future

What are the roadblocks that are slowing or stopping Michigan agriculture from growing? Michigan's Ag Plan identifies three priorities that are pivotal to the growth of Michigan's food and agriculture industry: improving market access, addressing bad regulations, and developing an adequate, well-trained workforce.

With the Michigan Ag Plan as a roadmap, the goal is for engaged county Farm Bureaus to help affect change locally by challenging decision-makers, including elected officials and political candidates, to acknowledge these priority issues and take actions that help Michigan agriculture to grow.
