Wisconsin’s agricultural community has made its voice heard for the upcoming November 3rd general election. Volunteers for Agriculture® (VFA)—the political action committee of the Wisconsin Farm Bureau Federation—has officially released its candidate endorsements for the state Assembly and state Senate races.
A dedicated panel of 18 farmers from across Wisconsin drives the VFA endorsement process. Built on a grassroots foundation, the committee evaluates candidates through local county Farm Bureau input, in-person candidate interviews, voting records, and key policy stances on agricultural issues. This hands-on process gives local producers a direct voice in electing leaders who understand and advocate for rural Wisconsin.
