Ag Production & Marketing
At the heart of the Task Force’s goal of increasing net farm household income is the farm as a “production unit” for livestock and crops. However, the core farm unit cannot successfully function in a vacuum. Farms are critically dependent on support services from federal and state agricultural departments and organizations such as the State’s universities, community and technical colleges that provide direct services to farms — such as diagnostic labs — and also provide training in fields essential to agriculture, notably veterinary medicine.
