House Ag Committee heads to the Thumb

 

The Michigan House Ag Committee is taking its committee hearings on the road next week.  Monday a public hearing is scheduled in Sanilac County in Michigan’s Thumb.

Chairman Dan Lauwers says they hope to have three or four more hearings in agricultural communities throughout the year.  “With a committee hearing, you’re putting an open invitation out there to the people of the area to come in and express what’s important to them.”

Lauwers says the hearing will be hosted on Roto-Z Dairy, with a major emphasis on agricultural drainage.
