Letter to U.S. AMS on Delegated State: Virginia

This week NAEGA joined NGFA in a letter to the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Agricultural Marketing Service (AMS) regarding its Notice of Intent to Certify the Virginia Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services as a Delegated Official Agency. The letter welcomes AMS’s new delegation process, which includes an open and transparent notice and comment period for the re-delegation of states. This type of process was a key request of NAEGA and NGFA during the reauthorization of the U.S. Grain Standards Act.
