What is your main concern about the ag industry – currently and in the future? What keeps you up at night?

Over regulation.

More precision farming. An integration of seperate systems into one managed system.

What would you say to policy makers if you had the chance?

Get a farm bill passed now!

How can producers better connect with consumers?

They need to be more outspoken and look for opportunities to share their opinions. They need to engage and use social media.
