US: Wisconsin Agri Department creates ‘Agriculture Youth Council’ to encourage youth participation in decision-making

Wisconsin Department of Agriculture, Trade and Consumer Protection (DATCP) has announced to create a new Wisconsin Agriculture Youth Council to encourage young people to engage with state government and increase their awareness of DATCP’s role in Wisconsin’s agriculture industry.

The Council would have 15 Wisconsin high school seniors from across the state who represent a variety of interest areas in Wisconsin’s agriculture industry.

“This Council will be incredibly valuable to DATCP to share more about our programs and encourage these students to participate in state agricultural policy development going forward,” said (DATCP) Secretary-designee Randy Romanski.
