The coronavirus pandemic spurred seven Midwestern agriculture directors to share insights about issues impacting their states.
Ohio Department of Agriculture Director Dorothy Pelanda says the state ag directors have participated in monthly meetings to discuss…”how we as a state are addressing COVID-19 relief plans, how we can be creative about CARES act dollars, what issues we’re seeing with COVID-19 and how it’s related to the food supply chain. Those relationships have become increasingly important as we navigate this new world.”
She tells Brownfield it is critical to hear what issues are impacting her counterparts in surrounding states.
