On Wednesday, January 30, 2008, David Winkels, owner of Excalibur Sires, met with Minnesota Governor Tim Pawlenty and Minnesota International Trade Representative, Tim Odegard, at the State Capitol in St. Paul, MN. Discussions were held on how the Governor’s administration could help boost Excalibur Sires’ international sales.

Also a point of discussion was the numerous amount of international distributors that Excalibur Sires has around the globe and how they might be able to open doors for other agricultural based businesses in Minnesota. The current lower value of the U.S. dollar makes the price of American products more affordable for most countries, in particularly Europe and Canada.

Winkels offered to help with arrangements for upcoming trade missions that Governor Pawlenty, Tim Odegard, members of the Governor’s administration, and other Minnesota-based business leaders will be making in 2008.
