There has been stepped-up enforcement of agricultural labor rules, regulations and industry consensus standards over the past year. The Michigan industry has and will continue to be proactive regarding Socially Responsible management practices and regulatory compliance. To continue this process Michigan's agricultural industry organizations are cooperating to announce a series of Management Seminars for 2011. In cooperation with MBG Marketing and MSUE, Michigan Farm Bureau is coordinating these seminars with industry specialists and agency representatives covering the complicated maze of requirements.
