Consumer Protection in Gasoline, Diesel, and Winter Fuels
With Michigan's beautiful forests, lakes, rivers, shores, sunrises, and sunsets, we as Michiganders love to hop in the car and travel our state. During the holiday season, we visit our favorite Michigan Christmas tree farm and reunite with family and friends to enjoy our own unique celebrations. And as winter settles over us for its annual visit, we light our fireplaces and turn up the thermostats to keep the chill outside where it belongs. | | | | November |

The State of Michigan, in cooperation with the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA), has been successfully working to eradicate Bovine Tuberculosis from Michigan since it was first discovered in free-ranging white-tailed deer in 1995. Since that time, the livestock industry has completed surveillance that demonstrates the disease is confined to the northern section of Lower Michigan. | | | | | • 22 - | Agriculturally Speaking...
 This fall I started my tenure as the Director of the Michigan Department of Agriculture (MDA) and one of my most rewarding experiences thus far is the number of young people expressing an interest in an agricultural career. I believe your readers have an interest in Michigan agriculture and I will be providing regular columns on various topics and aspects impacting the state’s second largest industry. |
