U.S. House Ag Committee Chair Collin Peterson and freshman Rep. and Ag Committee member Angie Craig held a Farm Hall event in a machine shed outside of Red Wing to discuss the implementation of the 2018 Farm Bill. The wide-ranging discussion included questions on dairy farming, farmers of color, guest workers and yes, the wall. See the captions on the photos for more on what was said.
