“Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate Bruce and Sharon Johnson of East Bethel and the Minnesota Fresh Farm for being named the Anoka County Farm Family of the Year by the University of Minnesota. For the past 2 decades, the University of Minnesota has chosen top farming families for their work promoting our State's great agricultural industry. The Minnesota Fresh Farm has been passed down from one generation of the Johnson family to the next and is currently being farmed by Bruce and Sharon Johnson, along with their son, Luke; and his wife, Liz. This year, the Johnson family was chosen for the efforts they have made to educate Minnesota's youth about farming. This includes working with the Opportunity Services in Anoka, an organization that helps individuals with special needs so they can enjoy farming and the great outdoors. The Johnson family were also chosen because of their focus on sustainable production methods and growing food without using pesticides. I want to congratulate the Johnson family and thank them for their efforts to promote the farming life and Minnesota's agricultural industry. Investing in Minnesota's Future”
