State Sen. Jean Leising attends second agricultural task force meeting
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
STATEHOUSE (Sept. 2, 2026) – State Sen. Jean Leising (R-Oldenburg) participated in the second meeting of the newly created Agricultural Promotion and Regulation Task Force today.
This meeting focused on whether some of the roles Purdue University plays in agriculture regulation should be transferred to a state-run entity. The task force also discussed the structure of the Indiana State Department of Agriculture.
During the meeting, the task force heard testimony from Don Lamb and David Bausman of ISDA, Adam Battalio of the governor's office, and members of the agricultural community.
"Purdue plays a major role in Indiana agriculture. This is not a decision our task force takes lightly," Leising said. "The discussion we had today was very informative, and we will continue to consider this topic at our next meeting and as we approach the start of session."
