The bill was reformatted from a House Introduced Resolution to a House Adopted Resolution, with significant reorganization of the 'Whereas' clauses. The substantive content regarding Michigan's agricultural statistics remains largely intact, though some clauses were reordered and minor text adjustments were made to formatting and punctuation.

TECHNICAL

The sponsor list was reformatted from a single indented block to a multi-line list at the top of the resolution.

The order of the 'Whereas' clauses was rearranged, moving specific agricultural statistics (eggs, floriculture, grapes, hops, irrigation, cherries, apples, kale, lettuce, maple syrup, nursery, onions, peaches, raspberries, soybeans, tomatoes, dairy, vegetables, wheat, potatoes, pumpkins, cucumbers) into a new sequence.

Minor punctuation and formatting changes were applied throughout, including replacing apostrophes with question marks in some instances and adjusting line breaks for readability.
