Agriculture Access to Capital
The Chamber is a strong advocate for the agriculture industry, focusing especially on Minnesota and North Dakota, and supports initiatives and policies that enhance its vitality. Our region is an epicenter for various agricultural equipment manufacturing, food processing, commodity marketing, extension research, land improvement and conservation efforts. As such, The Chamber supports these existing industries and new initiatives as their existence provides value added synergies toward a strong economy and enhanced food security network locally, nationally and internationally.
The Chamber 2021 Public Policy Guide
The Chamber recognizes the importance of reliable and affordable access to financial capital and supports policies and initiatives that both retain existing and attract additional capital required by our agriculture industries to achieve viability, growth and prosperity. Examples include both traditional and non-traditional types of debt and equity financing. The Chamber also recognizes the need for start-up capital for beginning farmers, ranchers and agri-businesses in the genesis for innovation and sustainability of agriculture.
