The Madison County Farm Bureau recently held a "Meet & Greet," on Monday, June 19, for Denise Grimsley. Grimsley is running for the Florida Commissioner of Agriculture in the 2018 election.
Grimsley visited Madison in order to speak to several local farmers, answer any questions they had and to gain a better understanding of the issues that are going on here in our community.
Grimsley stated that agriculture is the foundation of Florida's economy - that's why it is critical we have strong leadership to confront the challenges facing this industry.
"I am a lifelong conservative, strong supporter of the Second Amendment, and I believe Florida is the best place in America to work, raise kids, and retire, and I'll always work hard to improve the quality of life we all value," said Grimsley.
