Stop 4 on my rural county tour: Le Sueur County!   I stopped by Coborn’s, an independent grocer in New Prague. From truck drivers who deliver produce, to local grocers and their employees, to families in need – cuts to food assistance will hurt every part of the food system.

The MGA and Coborns were pleased to welcome Senator Amy Klobuchar to New Prague for a meaningful discussion on the vital role of independent grocers and the impact of SNAP funding in supporting both retailers and the communities they serve. #MNGrocer
