In February, Commissioner Ball had the opportunity to collaborate with our state and federal partners at the National Association of State Departments of Agriculture (NASDA) 2022 Winter Policy Conference in Arlington, Virginia.
At the conference, members discussed agricultural supply chain issues; Minorities in Agriculture, Natural Resources, and Related Sciences (MANRRS) students received a collective total of $21,000 in scholarships; NASDA members met to discuss policy issues such ranging from marketing and international trade to natural resources and the environment; and much more. Learn more about the discussions held at the Winter Policy Conference on NASDAโs website: https://www.nasda.org/2022-nasda-winter-policy-conference-post-meeting-documents.

Three flocks in New York State have tested positive for highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI). The Department is working closely with the USDA Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) on a joint incident response. All of the flocks that have tested positive in New York have been non-poultry flocks consisting of backyard pet birds or upland game birds. Stay up-to-date with the latest information about HPAI on USDAโs website (https://www.aphis.usda.gov/aphis/ourfocus/animalhealth/emergency-management/hpai/fadprep-hpai) or the Departmentโs website (https://agriculture.ny.gov/animals/poultry).
