In early August at Farmfest in Redwood Falls, eight members of the U.S. House of Representatives Agriculture Committee, including five from Minnesota, fielded questions – some sharper than others – about the next federal Farm Bill.
The current $867 billion Farm Bill, passed in 2018, expires at month’s end, and a new bill is a top congressional priority amid other pressing issues, including passing a federal budget. At the forum, House members heard from corn farmers and biofuel supporters, dairy farmers, and nutrition-program advocates. All have stakes in a new Farm Bill that funds their pet programs. But few questions revolved around farmland conservation and the voluntary conservation programs that are important to hunters, anglers, and conservationists.

California lawmakers on Sept. 7 voted to raise taxes on guns and ammunition and use the money to pay for gun violence prevention programs and security improvements at public schools.
The federal government already taxes the sale of guns and ammunition nationwide. The government gives that money to the states, which spend it on wildlife conservation and hunter safety programs. California’s proposed tax, if it becomes law, would be 11% – matching the highest tax imposed by the federal government on guns.

There are select lakes in this state with the ability to handle intense fishing pressure yet continue to provide solid multi-species fishing opportunities on a year-round basis.
Hubbard County’s Fish Hook Lake is one of them. Fish Hook is located just north of Park Rapids, so its proximity to town automatically makes it a popular lake for anglers and recreational boaters alike. But its consistent production of walleyes, bass, panfish, and northern pike is what draws anglers to it.
