Ag Day at the Capitol will be held January 31 at the Monona Terrace in Madison. This event is the largest gathering of farmers from across the state representing a variety of farm groups to learn more about issues impacting Wisconsin agriculture and meet with their state legislators.
“Wisconsin Farm Bureau is proud to host this opportunity for farmers to share their voices at the Capitol alongside many other agricultural groups,” said WFBF President Brad Olson. “There is no greater way to make a difference in agriculture than taking the time to meet with legislators to directly share our stories.”
Registration will begin at 11 a.m. with the program starting at 11:30 a.m. Lunch will be served followed by issue briefings and time for attendees to visit their legislators in the Capitol.
It is important that attendees call the offices of their legislators in advance to schedule an appointment between 3 and 5 p.m. for Wednesday, January 31.
Early registration is $30 and is now available. Registration increases to $60 after January 25 and at the door. Register for Ag Day at the Capitol by visiting bit.ly/AgDay-WFBF.

I am an alpaca farmer and wondering if this would be beneficial for the alpaca industry in the United States!
