Future of Farming Resources
AG 2000 Strategic Plan
The last strategic plan written for Washington's agriculture industry was in 1988. That comprehensive document plays an important role in the current project. Future of Farming project leaders led the original 1988 AG 2000 team through a plan review process in January 2008, 20 years after it was written. Thus, this historical document became a living document through the Future of Farming methodology. You can download the original Ag 2000 document as an Adobe Acrobat file here: Ag2000 Strategic Plan
