Laura Campbell, Senior Conservation and Regulatory Specialist with Michigan Farm Bureau

Laura works to help farmers achieve their goals of being great stewards of the land, water and air by understanding the environmental regulations affecting their farms and pointing them toward voluntary conservation programs to boost the power of their on-farm practices. She represents agriculture on various councils and committees: The Michigan Water Use Advisory Council (that recommends legislation and funding to improve water withdrawal regulations), the Michigan Agriculture Environmental Assurance Program (MAEAP) Advisory Council (advises MDARD how MAEAP can help farmers with environmental activities), and several Right to Farm committees that write the Generally Accepted Agricultural and Management Practices.
