A correction. It has been made public, that the Division of Agriculture does indeed, have a "plan". It has a very lofty title "Building a Sustainable Agriculture Industry" and was published January, 2009.
Here is the direct link to the 27 page report:
Since it's formal publication date, just how is the Division progressing on this goal? Well that takes more digging (and hat's off to the intrepid local Master Gardener who found these two items online and shared the links) but it is located on the OMB section of the state website-not exactly intuitive and easy to find, is it?
Direct link to the performance report:
So, the Division does have a master plan. Performance evaluations of that plan are published, as reflected by the reports on the Office of Management and Budget section. Cheerleaders and critics both, should read the entire report-perhaps several times, to gain an understanding of the master plan. And then, use their own judgement when reviewing the performance reports. Kudo's to former Director Franci Havemeister for authoring the proposal, and seeing it adopted by the state.
Reading these well crafted, carefully parsed and edited reports, is better suited to those who can sift through .govspeak to the inferred intent. Can you grok it? Can the public? Would they even care?
