MABA Members and Michigan Agriculture Partners, I want to take a moment to say thank you for your support and participation throughout 2024. I am proud of the results we achieved, working together: In Lansing, we delivered for agriculture, building bridges with government leaders, supporting beneficial proposals, and successfully defeating harmful legislation. We hosted world-class networking and education opportunities, with your participation making this year’s events among the best in recent years. And we delivered timely, accurate, actionable information – often leveraging your input and partnerships to get the job done. MABA also focused on the future, launching a new website, a new member portal, and a new AgFacts text message service. All of this reflects our responsibility to deliver strong value for you, and ensure MABA remains a leading voice for Michigan and U.S. agriculture. I look forward to building on our accomplishments in 2025, and always appreciate your partnership. Please reach out any time with questions or concerns. Happy New Year,Chuck
