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.
