Ouimet Hosts Town Hall Meeting on Ag

Washtenaw County farmers can learn about the state's agriculture agenda and suggest policy ideas to state lawmakers at a special town hall meeting on May 9 in Lodi Township with state Rep. Mark Ouimet and the leader of the House Agriculture Committee.

Ouimet invited state Rep. Kevin Daley, agriculture committee chair, as a special guest to answer questions, and listen to thoughts and concerns about the local and state agriculture industry.

“The event gives Washtenaw County farmers a tremendous opportunity to get their questions addressed as well as help direct future agriculture policy,” said Ouimet, R-Scio Township. “We want to know what we can do better as a state to help the agriculture industry grow and prosper."

The forum takes place at Lodi Township Hall, 3755 Pleasant Lake Road, starting at 7 p.m.  The meeting is open to the public and will concentrate on agriculture-based legislation and economics issues.
