Fisher named “Friend of

Agriculture”

MONTOUR- Representative Dean Fisher of Montour has been designated a “Friend of Agriculture” by the Iowa Farm Bureau Political Action Committee (PAC). Fisher is seeking the House District 72 seat that includes Tama County and parts of Marshall and Black Hawk counties.

“I’m delighted to once again receive this designation as a Friend of Agriculture”, said Fisher. “As a former engineer and the owner of a Heritage Farm I understand the issues facing Iowa’s agriculture economy from the factory to the farmstead. I will continue to fight for lower spending and taxes so that we don’t add to our farm family’s burden in this uncertain agriculture economy.”

“Candidates earn the Friend of Agriculture designation by supporting issues that directly impact Iowa’s agricultural economy,” said Audubon County farmer and IFBF PAC Chair, Randy Dreher.
