Where Has Our Advocacy Worked

In 2021, HB22 was successfully passed through the Alaska legislatures for small herd-share dairies to be able to sell value-added products, like cheese, into the Alaska Market. #freethecheese

Over the years agriculture programs (already minimally funded) have been drastically reduced in state funding. In 2019 agriculture programs (Division of Agriculture, Dairy Inspections, etc.) were essentially eliminated from the budget. Alaska Farm Bureau worked with many other organizations to reinstate funding for these programs.

Introduced at the request of the Alaska Wildsheep Foundation to send a message to agencies to “enhance efforts to protect the state’s wildlife” from things like M.ovi. The Alaska Farm Bureau worked with legislators to amend language making it more livestock friendly and focused on science-based management.
