Congresswoman milks support for dairy legislation

Congresswoman Suzan DelBene spent time with local dairy farmers near Monroe on Thursday, Aug. 4, presenting a bill called the Agriculture Environmental Stewardship Act.

A cosponsor on the bill, DelBene serves on the House Agriculture Committee and is the co-chair of the Congressional Dairy Caucus, a group of house members tasked with representing the interests of dairy farmers.
