Rep Jeff Backer Ag Summit Thank You

Fergus Falls- Following the Agriculture Summit that took place on January 22, 2026 at Jennen Farms in Fergus Falls, Representative Jeff Backer released the following statement. 

“I want to thank everyone who came to the Ag Summit last week. Thank you to the Commissioner of Agriculture, the Commissioner of the Department of Natural Resources, and the Commissioner of the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency for speaking at the event and engaging in meaningful conversations about the future of agriculture in our state.

I’m also grateful to the legislators who took the time to attend and truly listen. Hearing directly from producers, industry leaders, and community members about the challenges and opportunities facing agriculture is critical. These conversations help ensure we are crafting policies that support farm families, protect our natural resources, and strengthen Minnesota’s agricultural economy for generations to come.”
