New plan looks to grow Indiana's ag sector over next 10 years
The presentation of the plan, made to about 200 agriculture representatives at The Ritz Charles event center in Carmel, also drew Gov. Eric Holcomb and Lt. Gov Suzanne Crouch to the podium.
“Having a plan is critically important. It’s also important to the market so that folks know there is certainty and predictability when they are looking at where to invest,” said Holcomb. “So this plan is right down that strike zone. It will play a critical part in us continuing to grow our ag investments.”
The plan calls for dozens of agencies to promote seven priorities including economic and community development, natural resources, food and agricultural innovation and education and career development
“All of Indiana agriculture came together to develop this plan. There is enough common ground among all those to come together and lift up those core, what turns out to be seven key priorities,” Indiana State Department of Agriculture Director Ted McKinney said.
