Minnesota Agri-Growth

On October 30th Katie, Justin, and I went to St. Paul to the Minnesota annual Agri-Growth meeting.  Here we heard topics from agricultural economy, to the upcoming elections effect on agriculture.

We started the morning with the annual meeting and heard from members on the Agri-Growth board.  I was surprised to find out that Minnesota Agri-Growth is one of a kind.  There are currently other states trying to mock this board and implement them into their own states.

Throughout the afternoon we heard from Governor Tim Pawlenty, United States Secretary of Agriculture Ed Schafer, and Representative Colin Peterson.  It was a very exciting day, and we all took loads of information away.
