WASHINGTON Congresswoman Lisa McClain has created an agriculture advisory council to help serve as farmer s voices for Michigan s 10th district, and plenty of Upper Thumb farmers are taking part.
Of the eight members that are on the council, five run farms in either Huron, Tuscola, or Sanilac counties. Agriculture is a major industry in Michigan s Thumb, and there s no one who knows the issues our farmers are dealing with day to day better than the farmers, McClain said in a statement. I look forward to routinely meeting with my new Agriculture Advisory Council to stay in tune with the issues impacting our farmers to ensure that they are represented well in Washington.
