State agriculture director visits St. Joseph
ST. JOSEPH, Mo. (News-Press NOW) — Missouri Department of Agriculture Director Chris Chinn visited St. Joseph on Wednesday to attend the St. Joseph Chamber of Commerce's agri-business meeting.
Chinn discussed her experience in the agriculture business, as well as updating attendees on the Missouri Department of Agriculture and its recent trade show in Taiwan.
Chinn has been the director of the Missouri Department of Agriculture since 2017, serving under three different governors. She said that she enjoys visiting St. Joseph and appreciates what the city offers in terms of agriculture.
"St. Joe really is one of the state's best hidden gems," Chinn said. "A lot of people don't realize how many agriculture companies are based right here in St. Joe and they help us when it comes to export markets, when it comes to feeding Missourians. And so this is a great opportunity to come up and highlight these businesses and just thank them for being a part of the Missouri agriculture community."
The meeting, which was not open to the public, took place at BioZyme. The company's president and CEO, Lisa Norton, said she was happy to have Chinn speak on Wednesday morning.
"We're really excited to have someone in that position that finds St. Joseph of importance and to come meet all of us and carry our message forward," Norton said.
