The National Association of State Departments of Agriculture (NASDA) held its annual meeting in Iowa this week.
State ag directors, ag commissioners and ag secretaries from all across the U.S. spent the week in meetings and on bus tours around the state.
Iowa secretary of agriculture Bill Northey is wrapping up his year as president of NASDA. He talked with Brownfield about this week’s meeting and some of the key issues they discussed.
