CDFA Secretary Karen Ross today met participants in the Miss (and Mr.) Agriculture America Pageant.<\/a> The organization is committed to promoting agriculture in California and around the nation. In a meeting at CDFA headquarters, Secretary Ross spoke to the visitors about their experiences with the pageant and asked them about their future aspirations, in the hope that some will choose one of the many career pathways available in agriculture and food production. The participants each shared products from their home farms or regions, including nuts, fruits, beef jerky, honey, coffee, and jams and jellies.
