The Maryland Legislative Session came to an end on April 7th, 2025. While the fiscal situation of the State made this a difficult legislative session, the outcomes for Maryland grain producers were largely positive.
The agricultural coalition was successful in restoring some of the funding for the Maryland Agricultural Land Preservation Foundation and conservation programs that were recommended to be completely cut by the Department of Legislative Services. We were successful in defeating legislation that would have severely limited the available pesticides to Maryland farmers, increased required nutrient application offsets and inhibited available markets for feed. We were successful in passing legislation that expands the field-loaded-products eligible for exceptional hauling permits. Overall, a successful session despite its challenges.
