Legislators showed up early and stuck around to chat with Farm Bureau members from all around Indiana Wednesday morning as Indiana Farm Bureau hosted them for breakfast on the second floor of the Indiana Statehouse. Farm Bureau members advocated for their top policy priorities this session: property tax relief and water rights.
Indiana Farm Bureau President Randy Kron told Hoosier Ag Today, “I was at a meeting last night, a farmer stood up and said, ‘My property taxes went up 26% last year’. I told him, ‘You need to be telling that story to legislators!'”
Kron is encouraging members, like that one, to visit the Statehouse as we get down to the final month of this year’s legislative session.
