🎥 Week 4 General Assembly Update is here!
This week, we’re updating you on Delegate Clark’s HB 1375, which would ban a critical pesticide used by Virginia farmers. We’re also tracking bills that support our new VFBF policy for a producer‑friendly definition of agrivoltaics.
And we’re gearing up for Legislative Day, when more than 100 Farm Bureau members will meet with legislators to advocate for agriculture’s top priorities, including:
🌱 AgBMPs
🍎 Commodity Checkoffs – Apple & Peanuts
🖥️ Data Centers
🌲 Growing the Agriculture & Forestry Industry
