*Midwestern State Agriculture Leaders Give Thanks for The People Who Help Make Thanksgiving Meals Possible Every Year*

ST. PAUL, MINN. ? As consumers peruse store shelves, they are in search of ingredients for their traditional Thanksgiving meals. Maybe it?s a classic stuffing recipe or the special cranberry sauce that?s the hallmark of your family meal. Or the perfect pumpkin pie. Those tasty dishes are the product of hard work by the nation?s farmers and producers, truckers, processors, grocery stores, and veterinarians.

Today?s graphic/poster (available for download as a?PDF [ [link removed] ], png [ [link removed] ], or?jpg [ [link removed] ]) features notes of thanks from the following commissioners, directors, and secretaries across the Midwest for the tireless work by those who make sure we all have food on our tables not only over the holidays, but every day:


* Jerry Costello II, Director, Illinois Department of Agriculture (IDA)
* Bruce Kettler, Director, Indiana State Department of Agriculture (ISDA)
* Thom Petersen, Commissioner, Minnesota Department of Agriculture (MDA)
* Gary McDowell, Director, Michigan Department of Agriculture & Rural Development (MDARD)
* Dorothy Pelanda, Director, Ohio Department of Agriculture (ODA)
* Randy Romanski, Secretary, Wisconsin Department of Agriculture, Trade and Consumer Protection (DATCP)
