The National Association of State Departments of Agriculture (NASDA) is hosting its Annual Meeting this week at the Westin in downtown Indianapolis. The event brings together the commissioners, secretaries, and directors of the departments of agriculture in all fifty states and four U.S. territories to discuss ag policies that impact the U.S. ag industry.

Michigan Ag Today’s C.J. Miller caught up with Dr. Tim Boring, Director of the Michigan Department of Agriculture and Rural Development, who is attending NASDA’s Annual Meeting. Boring shared some of the ag policy discussions that have taken place among the ag leaders representing the different department of agriculture across the U.S. during the meeting in Indy.

Boring also talks about the discussions with his counterparts to expand trade exports for Michigan’s ag producers.
