This week, much of our focus is on energy. We continue to stress to our legislators is that our lands are a finite resource. As the Commonwealth works up against the clock to meet the goals of the Virginia Clean Economy Act, Virginia Farm Bureau continues to advocate for the siting of solar facilities on existing infrastructure instead of farm- and forestland.

We are filming at the General Assembly today as things are really heating up with only one more week until Crossover. Legislators have until February 4 to get their bills passed through their home chamber, so everyone’s working overtime. A special shout-out to Delegate Webert for letting us use his conference room when there wasn’t enough time to get back to the office to film!
