Governor Walz visits farm in Le Sueur County to talk about the agriculture and broadband bill

KEYC TV reports

Governor Tim Walz visited a Dairy Farm in Le Sueur to highlight the state’s work on agriculture.

Earlier this year, the Governor signed an agriculture bill that provided new support for the agriculture industry.

It includes new investments for dairy farms, grain and livestock producers, broadband, farm safety, and emerging farmers.

Dairy farmer Karl Heldberg spoke to Governor Walz about his farm and its challenges in today’s economy.

Sounds like the conversation was more on farming than broadband – although in the world of precision agriculture, they are intertwined.
