Moorhead Hosting Midwest Council Ag Forum

The Midwest Council Ag Forum will be held Tuesday afternoon in Moorhead. Former House Agriculture Committee Chair Collin Peterson, who was behind the development of the Midwest Council on Agriculture, said the forum will include a panel of economists. “We have Pat Westhoff of FAPRI; we have Brad Lubben from the University of Nebraska and we have NDSU’s Sandro Steinbach. They will be involved in this policy center that we’re working on.” National Pork Producers Council Vice President of Student Engagement Andy Curliss will also address the threats to modern agriculture. “He’s done a lot of research on who has been funding all of the anti-agriculture stuff in the country.” This forum coincides with Ag Tech Week in Fargo/Moorhead.
