What an incredible opportunity to spend some time yesterday with leaders from the USDA, TN Department of Agriculture, and multiple State legislators, to hear about the plans and ideas they have for continuing to strengthen and move agriculture forward in our state.
It was especially nice to have the chance to talk with several of them about farming and hear their perspectives on the many great things agriculture brings to our communities. There is so much to be proud of, and it was encouraging to hear about the work being planned for the future.
It was also great to see the USDA Deputy Secretary again, and have the opportunity to visit for a bit. He loves our ice cream, and always asks for it when he's in town! 🍦
Grateful for the opportunity to meet so many wonderful people yesterday, learn more about future plans, share a little, and be reminded just how special agriculture is to our state!!!
