The next Ag Commissioner for Minnesota plans to focus on communication and collaboration.
Minnesota Farmers Union director of government relations Thom Petersen begins his new role with the Department of Agriculture Monday.
“We try to communicate and collaborate as much as we can, so that is very important to me. Whether that’s working with different farmers and farm groups or different organizations, but also with different state agencies.”
Governor-elect Tim Walz announced appointments for several commissioners Thursday at a dairy farm near Hastings.
