Rooted In Tomorrow
The mom. The Farmer. The advocate; Driving policy change by making it personal.
Rural communities feed the nation — but do their voices reach the halls of power? In this episode of Rooted In Tomorrow, host Kim Olson dives into how Land O’Lakes, Inc. Government Relations empowers farmers to advocate for themselves, influence policy, and bridge the gap between the farm and the grocery store.
Joining the conversation are Gretchen Rockstad, a Minnesota farmer and member of the Policy & Resolutions Committee, and Amber Horn-Leiterman, a Land O’Lakes farmer-member from rural Wisconsin. Together, they share how cooperative leadership, grassroots advocacy, and storytelling help shape legislation that benefits consumers and strengthens rural economies across the Midwest and Great Plains.
