Out-of-date, underfunded transportation systems, inadequate local and regional processing, and a lack of available labor hinder agriculture production, while advancing technology encourages growth. NASDA believes in maintaining fairness and equity within the agriculture community through the development of a strong agriculture infrastructure. 10.5 Local and Regional Processing Demand for locally-produced food is creating jobs and opportunities for farms, ranches, and businesses that produce, store, process, market and distribute food locally and regionally. To meet consumer demand and realize the potential economic gains from locally-produced foods, policies must support new and expanded local and regional processing facilities. ● NASDA believes local and regional processing is essential to a resilient and vibrant agricultural sector. ● NASDA supports policies and practices that put processors

    8-23-21 Florida Agriculture Commissioner Nikki Fried Shares Facts to Encourage People to Work Together

    HardisonInk.com Florida Agriculture Commissioner Nikki Fried shares facts to encourage people to work together to reduce the spread of COVID-19 Information Provided By FDACS Communications Published Aug. 23, 2021 at 4:11 p.m. PUBLISHER’S NOTE: Following is the written version of a message Florida Commissioner of Agriculture Nikki Fried shared today (Monday, Aug. 19) during a press briefing in Tallahassee. She urges people to work together to fight against COVID-19. Following is what she said. TALLAHASSEE -- Hi, I’m Nikki Fried, Florida’s Commissioner of Agriculture and Consumer Services. Four weeks ago, as our state began witnessing record-high cases, hospitalizations and deaths, I stood up at the Florida Capitol to provide the public with the latest COVID-19 information – something the governor and the Florida Department of Health ceased providing the first week of June. I made a promise that day to continue providing the regular, timely updates that the people of Florida need and deserve to be able to make the best decisions to keep their families safe during this public health crisis. And I have kept that promise, holding near-daily briefings for the past four weeks. I’m here again today because the governor and Florida Department of Health have failed to provide daily COVID-19 updates for nearly three months even as the situation in the state has continued to worsen. Since my first briefing four weeks ago, hospitalizations in the state have nearly doubled – causing staff shortages and pushing our hospitals to capacity. According to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, there are currently 17,143 Floridians lying in hospital beds with COVID-19 as we speak – including 3,557 COVID patients in the ICU.

  • Ag Groups Playing No Favorites in Secretary Sweepstakes

    Ag Groups Playing No Favorites in Secretary Sweepstakes

    December 2, 2020 Volume 16, Number 46 Ag groups playing no favorites in secretary sweepstakes Farm groups are pledging to work with whomever President-elect Joe Biden picks for agriculture secretary and are steering clear of announcing a favorite for the position. That’s not the case with several other interest groups. So far, most of the public speculation has centered on a pair of longtime Capitol Hill farm hands: Former North Dakota Sen. Heidi Heitkamp and Ohio Rep. Marcia Fudge. Debate over the two has turned into a proxy battle for the direction of the Department of Agriculture under the Biden administration. And farm policy insiders haven’t been able to squeeze much out of the Biden transition team. “They do a lot of listening; they don’t do much Rep. Marcia Fudge (left) and former Sen. Heidi sharing about what they are looking for,” one source Heitkamp (right) told Agri-Pulse of his conversations with the transition team. “As you would expect with any transition team, they hold their cards very, very close.” In recent weeks, ag lobbyists told Agri-Pulse of their generally good relationships with both Heitkamp and Fudge and said they were also generally happy with some of the other people said to be in the running – former Obama administration veterans like USDA Deputy Secretaries Kathleen Merrigan and Krysta Harden and Michael Scuse, who served as deputy in an acting role, former Ag Secretary Tom Vilsack's Chief of Staff and current California Ag Secretary Karen Ross, even Vilsack himself – and none went as far as to endorse a favorite.

Glenn participated in the event organized by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) and the U.S. Food & Drug Administration (FDA) to recognize April as “Winning on Reducing Food Waste Month” and discuss the impacts of reducing food loss and waste. “We are identifying opportunities to mitigate food waste with our federal and industry partners,” Witte said. “It is estimated that 30-40 percent of food is lost throughout the supply chain, including unharvested crops. Regaining lost food is a must to sustainably provide for everyone.” Kentucky Commissioner of Agriculture Ryan Quarles also signed the pledge.

    PLYMOUTH COUNTY Plymouth County, the fourth largest county in the state of Iowa, was established on January 15, 1851 and formally organized on October 12, 1858. It is named after the landing place of the Pilgrims on the Mayflower. The county was attached to Woodbury County for judicial and other reasons prior to 1858. Plymouth County began with two civil townships. The county now has 24 townships. The site of the first courthouse was in Melbourne. It was built in October of 1859 at a cost of $2,000. In 1861 the building was insured, desks were purchased and an outhouse and steps were added. The courthouse in Melbourne had many uses, including winter quarters for soldiers for the federal government, as well as a grocery. The first public school was taught in Melbourne in December 1859. Records show that the school fund was $470 and the number of students registered was 32. In 1872, by a close vote, the county seat was moved to Le Mars. The town of Le Mars had been platted in 1869, and was named by using the initials of the names of ladies who visited the town with a group of realtors, a state legislator and a state registrar of deeds. In 1874, residents voted to build a new courthouse and jail in Le Mars on Block 35. Three thousand dollars was approved by the voters and appropriated from the swamp land fund of Sioux City and the Iowa Falls Town Lot and Land Company donated the land. In 1900, at the general election on November 6, a bond issue was passed to build a new courthouse, at a cost of no more than $70,000.
