It’s no surprise trade is a priority for former USDA undersecretary and incoming National Association of State Departments of Agriculture CEO.
Ted McKinney tells Brownfield NASDA members want to help improve the global trade picture for US agriculture. “There’s got to be things that we as the states can be doing in complement to the USDA,” he says.
He tells Brownfield that will mean reestablishing relationships with trading partners. “It’s the building of the trust to be able to work through problems,” he says. “Because now we’re seeing decisions out of other parts of the world that have a direct impact on the US.”
