Gov. Whitmer to rename state building after Debbie Stabenow

Debbie Stabenow retired from Congress after 28 years, becoming known as a champion for sustainable food systems and specialty crops while negotiating five farm bills.

The 2018 farm bill, which Stabenow negotiated, allocated $428 billion over five years, with 7% aimed at conservation programs, yet a new farm bill is overdue.
