Legislative Committee & Agenda

WCPA recently created a new Legislative Committee and four Legislative Sub-Committees during its Legislative Rally with the goal of empowering industry leaders with direct input and participation in legislative and government affairs related activities. The Legislative Committee is composed of two WCPA Board Members and two Co-Chairs from each of the four Sub-Committees including: ACCP/Fertilizer Tonnage Fees Sub-Committee, Nutrient Management Policy Sub-Committee, On-Farm Bulk Storage Sub-Committee, and the Sub-Standard Dealer Sub-Committee.

WCPA also recently conducted a membership-wide survey to establish a member-driven legislative agenda. The survey asked important questions regarding what legislative and government affairs related issues are important to them and what priority we should be placing on each area of consideration. The result was the development of our first formalized legislative agenda with ten areas of concentration. Results of the survey process are found inside

WCPA’s Legislative Committee and Sub-Committees examined the survey results and resulting legislative agenda to identify the top four issues that we should be focusing on as an industry. Please read the results of the Legislative Rally, Legislative Committee Process and our Legislative Agenda Development results.

It is important that as many WCPA members as possible participate in our legislative and government affairs activities. If you are not currently, please contact the WCPA office and get involved. Our success depends on the extent to which our industry representatives embrace and take ownership of these important activities.
