This month, MABA continued our focus on outreach to policy leaders in Lansing and Washington. This month was designated Food and Ag Month in Michigan – and the nation celebrated National Ag Day on March 21 – so we took that opportunity to share more about the Michigan industry.
As with many agricultural organizations, the fall and winter months make up the core of our meeting season, and this month MABA wrapped up our final “big” training event of the winter while beginning our planning for the upcoming Outlook Conference and next year’s Winter Conference. Here’s more from March 2023!

LANSING, Mich. (March 27, 2023) – The Michigan Agri-Business Association (MABA) and Michigan farm organization leaders are spotlighting safety during the nationwide Stand Up For Grain Safety Week, March 27-31, 2023.
“As planting approaches and we look ahead to another strong season for Michigan agriculture, it’s critical that we all remember the top priority: Getting everyone home safely at the end of the day,” said Chuck Lippstreu, president of MABA. “We’re glad to see our member businesses that handle grain and animal feed take extra time this week to spotlight safety for their employees. We encourage everyone to keep safety top of mind this year.”
Cohosted by the Agricultural Leaders of Michigan
As Michigan honors agriculture this month and recognizes National Ag Day on March 21, the Agricultural Leaders of Michigan cohosted a media conference on Monday, March 20 providing an overall industry update. Following are comments from the press conference made by MABA President Chuck Lippstreu, summarizing some issues MABA is focused on for 2023.
We look forward to welcoming the next class of our MABA Leadership Program! Now in its 16th year, this program is designed to help emerging leaders in Michigan’s agribusiness community learn more about policy, legislation and regulatory matters, and get hands-on experiences in these areas.
The program is well-suited for anyone desiring to broaden their skills and expertise, and who is interested in helping MABA advance Michigan agriculture in the years ahead. The program is led by MABA President Chuck Lippstreu and Association staff, with the participation of a wide range of community and agriculture industry leaders.
