What does an Agricultural Commission do?
• Serves as a local voice advocating for farmers, farm businesses and farm interests
• Provides visibility for farming
• Gives farmers a place to go to for help
• Works with town boards on issues facing farming in the town
• Helps resolve farm related problems or conflicts
• Protects farmland and other natural resources.
My grandfather used to say that once in your life you need a doctor, a lawyer, a policemen, and a preacher. But every day, three times a day, you need a farmer.
