Mar 21, 2019

Members of the ASA Action Partnership (ASAAP) met in Washington, D.C. this week for discussion focused on trade, rural infrastructure and communications.

Special guest USDA Trade Counsel Jason Hafemeister provided valuable insights and information during his dinner presentation.

The meeting also included presentations on Infrastructure and Connectivity featuring Wole Moses, director of Federal Could Solutions, Microsoft and on Sharing the Ag Story, with Sarah Sampson, series producer/director of Maryland Farm & Harvest.

ASAAP is a collaborative effort of all soybean industry sectors with a stake in the growth and profitability of the industry. The forum provides the opportunity for ASA’s state affiliates, state and national checkoff organizations, industry partners and national grower leaders to engage in critical industry focused dialogue.

The D.C. meeting is one of two annual meetings of the group. The next meeting is Aug. 6 -8, 2019.
