Get ready—this month’s episode of The Block Party is officially LIVE, and you won’t want to miss it! Tune in now and catch up on this episode and all past episodes at: https://www.buzzsprout.com/2134475. 

We’re diving back in with some of our incredible Young Farmer leaders as they explore a powerful and timely topic: “Growth in rural areas can strain rural energy infrastructure. How can Farm Bureau work with stakeholders to advocate for practice planning at the local, state and national levels that safeguards affordable, reliable energy access for farmers and ranchers as well as their rural neighbors while protecting farmland from unnecessary eminent domain?”
