South Dakota Department of Agriculture (SDDA) Facilitates Roundtable Priority Meetings

The South Dakota Department of Agriculture is facilitating committee meetings to identify the work plan for the priority areas identified in the 2011 and 2012 Key Leaders Roundtable.

The work plans will provide a framework for all agriculture stakeholders to move forward the Department priorities.  The committee groups include:

-Education and Youth
-Livestock Development
-Water, Natural Resources and Energy
-Infrastructure and Zoning
-Value-Added Processing

These committee groups consist of volunteers from agriculture commodity groups along with SDDA staff facilitating. 

The purpose of each committee is to identify overall objectives and strategies to address the priority areas. The objectives will have short and long-term timelines. All objectives will be created to be Specific, Measurable, Accountable, Realistic and Timely (SMART).

Stay tuned for members from each committee!
