This week, Wisconsin Department of Agriculture, Trade and Consumer Protection (DATCP) leadership participated in the National Association of State Departments of Agriculture (NASDA) annual meeting, contributing in policy committee discussions, taking part in business meetings, and joining plenary sessions.
The NASDA annual meeting was hosted in Kentucky, September 18 – 22, 2021, and was also offered virtually. The NASDA annual meeting included six committee meetings for members to thoroughly consider policy amendments and action items for the organization to adopt. One policy item, encouraging reforms to temporary agriculture worker programs, passed as part of a robust discussion about workforce needs.
