The Director of the Michigan Department of Agriculture and Rural Development says he wants new projects to bring renewed optimism to the state’s specialty crop industry.
Tim Boring tells Brownfield there needs to be a path for growth and robust processing to support specialty crop growers struggling with labor and international competition.
“I think it’s, in general, about providing more certainty within the marketplace and agriculture and in carving out a path here that’s going to be in the best interest of not only Michigan agriculture but everybody that lives here in Michigan,” he says.
