NDFB Executive Vice President and CEO Jeff Missling says there has been very good attendance at these policy development meetings. One issue getting attention is the need to develop a strong livestock industry in the state. “We’re hearing a lot of townships and counties in other parts of the Midwest that are promoting livestock development locally. We’re sitting on a goldmine in North Dakota if we could create an atmosphere where that is happening here.” Missling says dairy and swine production would be good for the state’s economy. “That way we don’t have to worry so much about rail cars hauling our bulk ag commodities out of the state; if we could feed it right here, it makes perfect sense.”
