The National Association of State Departments of Agriculture has set five policy priorities for 2024.
NASDA CEO Ted McKinney says the issues are 2024 Farm Bill, food safety, labor reform, pesticide regulation, and the chemical complex known as PFAS.
“It’s a fairly democratic process. Policy ideas, some are already in the books. They don’t change unless they get a submission, but it’s the members and only the members that submit policy items.”
With the farm bill, he tells Brownfield NASDA is focused more on the content than the timeline.
