The State of Ag Report, a result of a comprehensive survey of Minnesota’s agribusiness and related industries and a series of focus groups, was released on National Ag Day, March 22, 2022 at an event hosted at Farmamerica. The report reveals the perceptions and opinions on the economy and other major issues impacting businesses in the agriculture industry and places an emphasis on education, as well as talent attraction and retention. The State of Ag Report enables GreenSeam to better understand, serve, and support the workforce, businesses, organizations, and communities we call home.
