\"Wisconsin\"Wisconsin<\/p>\n

Wisconsin farmers are getting a voice in national conversations about animal health, cattle markets, and international trade.<\/p>\n

Wisconsin Department of Agriculture, Trade and Consumer Protection (DATCP) Secretary Randy Romanski took part in the National Association of State Departments of Agriculture\u2019s (NASDA) annual meeting this week in Portland, Maine.<\/p>\n

The event brings agriculture leaders from across the country together to discuss issues affecting farmers and the broader food system.<\/p>\n

Animal health a key topic<\/p>\n

Romanski served as vice chair of NASDA\u2019s Animal Agriculture Policy Committee, where members discussed the ongoing response to New World Screwworm and received an update on cattle markets.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnimal health remains one of the most important subjects I discuss with my colleagues at the annual meeting,\u201d Romanski said. \u201cState, federal, and industry partners continue working on ways to protect livestock and the agriculture industry.\u201d<\/p>\n

New World Screwworm has been a particular concern for livestock officials this year, with Wisconsin monitoring developments and working on preparedness.<\/p>\n

Looking for new markets<\/p>\n

Romanski also began his term as president of Food Export Midwest, a nonprofit that helps connect Midwestern food and agricultural businesses with international buyers. This\u00a0could open more opportunities for Wisconsin farmers and food businesses looking to reach customers outside the United States.<\/p>\n

\u201cWisconsin is committed to growing its agricultural exports around the world,\u201d Romanski explained. \u201cWe will continue to work to strengthen our international partnerships and identify new market opportunities for our food businesses.\u201d<\/p>\n

Romanski also completed his term as president of the Midwestern Association of State Departments of Agriculture at the meeting.<\/p>\n
