Yesterday Madison has telling me how much she admires Secretary Perdue and her dream this semester in D.C. would to meet him if possible. I was curious if Secretary Perdue ever did photo ops with interns (or something like that), and, if so, would it be possible for her to squeeze in to one?

Student Diversity Program Group It was 2007 when USDA’s Agricultural Outlook Forum Student Diversity Program was launched. The participants major in agriculture‐related studies, including business, economics, communications, nutrition, food science, and veterinary studies. Finalists are selected from land‐grant universities, Hispanic‐serving institutions, and non‐land‐grant colleges of agriculture. The Program is supported by academic and government institutions and corporations dedicated to promoting the education of the next generation of agriculturalists. This year’s sponsoring organizations include the University of Maryland Eastern Shore and Farm Credit. USDA sponsors include the Agricultural Research Service; Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service; Economic Research Service, National Agricultural Statistics Service; Natural Resources Conservation Service; Office of Advocacy and Outreach; and the Office of the Chief Economist.

20 Undergraduates (Junior and Senior level only), 10 graduate students, they come from 1862, 1890 and Hispanic Serving institutions with qualifying programs.

5:00 PM - 5:15 PM Photo with Recipients of the Presidential Rank Award Cyril G. Gay

To go along with our improvement in the “Best Places to Work” scorecard this week, there is good news that we can pass along related to recognition of specific USDA employees. As you may know, OPM has a Presidential Rank Award process that recognizes high performing Senior Executives for either sustained extraordinary accomplishment or sustained accomplishment.

Winners for the 2016 performance year (but referred to as FY 2017 Presidential Rank Awards) have been identified. OPM has approved our ability to notify Presidential Rank Award winners they have won. We have informed the agencies who have winners, but they have not informed their employees yet. .

2017 Meritorious Professional Winner:

Topics: We are particularly interested in discussing the Administration’s position regarding trade with China. As you know, China currently imports one‐third of annual U.S. soybean production. We are aware that decisions on a number of trade‐related issues must be made this year, and are concerned about the potential for disruption in our access to the China market. ASA is closely engaged on a number of other key trade issues, including negotiations to modernize NAFTA, renegotiate KORUS, and determine the future role of the WTO. We also support efforts to find international consensus on trade in biotech commodities, and for crops developed using innovative plant breeding techniques, such as gene editing. We believe ensuring access to global markets for these yield‐enhancing crops is essential to meeting the goal of feeding the world’s growing population in the next 30 years. ASA has also been actively involved in domestic issues that affect our soybean industry and all U.S. agriculture. These include development of the 2018 Farm Bill, regulation of biotechnology and plant breeding innovations, increased funding for agricultural research, and biofuels policies. We would like to discuss how ASA can be helpful in advancing the Administration’s agenda for reaching agreement for funding much‐needed infrastructure improvements, which are key to our international competitiveness.

Mark & Angie Ulness, John Deere Outstanding Young Farmers

Emily Buck, Ph.D., Associate Professor at The Ohio State University, USFRA’s Face of Farming & Ranching

John Teeple, Director of Advanced Technology, John Deere

Sarah Hendren, Nutrition and Quality Assurance Manager, Culver’s

Panel discussion theme: The Consumer, the Farmer and Sustainability

Consumers want to be more in touch with where their food comes from now more than ever. And research shows Americans are increasingly confident with the way farmers and ranchers grow and raise food in the U.S. However, is agriculture’s voice still missing from the conversation, and are consumers privy to the sustainable practices of today’s farmers and ranchers? The word “sustainability” brings ire from some, support from others, but what does sustainability actually mean? In this forward-thinking panel, panelists will discuss how they see the change in this definition is altering how they do business; and defining new opportunities for their operations.

Sustainability is a hot topic that many farm and consumer groups continue to debate. It’s a topic that agriculture can use to inspire others, elevating farmers, ranchers and the future of our industry. This special Ag Day panel will help define the "rules of engagement" for discussing this key issue and ways that people in agriculture can spark impactful dialogue.

General Talkers

• The department appreciates the update on the ABA’s Balance Calories Initiative and the innovation taking place within the industry to meet consumer demand.

• USDA looks forward to strengthening its partnership with the American Beverage Association as we continue to encourage healthier lifestyles.

Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) Restriction Efforts

• In January, the USDA denied Maine and Nevada’s waiver requests to restrict certain categories of food purchases with SNAP.

• USDA appreciates the feedback the ABA provided on this matter.

• The department maintains that picking winners and losers in the food industry is not an effective means of government intervention.

• In addition, the department believes allowing restrictions could lead to increased administrative costs for the SNAP program and retail community, as well as significant burdens on small businesses.

In early February, we met with the Secretary to discuss some preliminary work we were doing related to agricultural water use in the Lower Flint Basin in Georgia and the surface water, drought-related impacts that we have been seeing in key tributaries of the Flint River, several of which are critical habitat for listed species. Since that meeting, we have had additional discussions with the United States Fish & Wildlife Service, Ecological Services Field Supervisor for Georgia about this work and the upcoming work related to the development of a Habitat Conservation Plan for the basin. In addition to discussions with USFWS, we have had additional discussions with USDA staff about targeted research that would be valuable to the HCP project and other USDA priorities.
