I am proud of our accomplishments, but there is more work to be done. I will stay focused on the core issues facing North Dakota agriculture today, innovation, research, trade, while utilizing a common-sense approach.
lnnovation - embracing innovation and technology to keep us competitive in a global market.
Research - to allow us to be more efficient and more effective in producing commodities.
Trade - Exporting our agricultural surplus supports one out of four jobs in North Dakota. Since 2010, exports of ag commodities have increased by over 50 percent.
