Roggenbuck sparks agricultural panel Amanda Roggenbuck, Tuscola County Commissioner for District 1, comprised of Akron, Columbia, Elkland, Elmwood, Fairgrove, Gilford and Wisner townships, recently announced that the Michigan Association of Counties (MAC) will feature a panel discussion entitled “Inside Michigan Agribusiness,” at its upcoming annual summer conference. The panel will focus on sustaining and enhancing Michigan agriculture through tourism and product promotion. The panel was created at Roggenbuck’s request to promote a more collab- orative effort between counties and agriculture. “Agriculture is the industry that is moving Michigan forward. Everyone needs to promote our products and industry,” Roggenbuck explained. The panelists include key members of the Michigan Agriculture and Tourism team: Jim Byrum, president of Michigan Agri-Business; Tim Hinkley, executive director, National Cherry Festival; and Mike Dibernardo, economic development specialist, Michigan Department of Agriculture. “We are very pleased to have such a strong advocate for the agriculture industry, such as Commissioner Roggenbuck, as a part of our association”, said Larry Emig, MAC president.
