The Loudoun Chamber presents the “State of the Rural Economy,” a PolicyMaker Series discussion featuring Virginia Secretary of Agriculture and Forestry Bettina Ring and Loudoun’s Agricultural Development Manager, Kellie Hinkle.
Agriculture is big business in Virginia and in Loudoun. Together, agriculture and forestry is the Commonwealth’s largest economic sector, with an annual impact of $91 billion and nearly 450,000 jobs. Join your Chamber colleagues for an in-depth conversation with Virginia’s and Loudoun’s top agricultural development officials about this important economic sector and how they are working together to preserve and strengthen Virginia’s rural economy.
