The time is now for Indiana agriculture
The Indiana State Department of Agriculture is working on a strategic plan for the state’s agriculture industry.
ISDA director Ted McKinney says he’ll be working with stakeholders on a timeline for Indiana agriculture and how it can meet the growing demand for agricultural goods and services. “Take a look at what is happening naturally,” he says. “We know that we are going from 7 to 9 billion on the planet. Most people do not know that the peak demand for protein will be in about 2025. So the here is now.”
McKinney tells Brownfield now is when the industry needs to ramp up production to meet those needs. “We’re doing so many things right here in Indiana,” he says. “So help me – if I have anything to do with it – Indiana is going to take a lead in this. It is rightfully our place and I think we are proving it with all the many different aspects of agriculture. It is our time.”
He says they’re in the early stages of planning and will unveil their timeline in the near future.
