What: Denny Wolff Presents Federal Dairy Policy Reform

Date: Monday, July 2nd

When: 6:30AM

Where: Grand Traverse Resort, Level 17

100 Grand Traverse Village Blvd

Williamsburg, MI 49610


We have had enough meetings to identify the problems dairy farmers face – now it’s time to lay out some concrete suggestions for much-needed changes in federal policy. As the Democratic candidate for Pennsylvania’s 9th Congressional District, I will lay out my position on key issues including trade, labeling, safety nets, immigration, and FMMO reform that will impact all dairy farmers from 60-6,000 cows. Today, we need leadership in Congress to represent the needs of our dairy farmers. Congress seems to have a lot of instant experts on agriculture when it comes time to write the Farm Bill – but few, if any – have lived the life of a dairy farmer.
