MDA stands for which organization?

• A. Minnesota Department of Agriculture
• B. Missouri Department of Agriculture
• C. Montana Department of Agriculture
• D. Michigan Department of Agriculture

Answer: (A)

Acronyms for state agricultural departments can be ambiguous, so the test relies on the context given. In this item, MDA is used to denote the Minnesota Department of Agriculture, which is why Minnesota is the correct choice. While several states have a Department of Agriculture with a similar name, the convention in these materials points to Minnesota for MDA. If you see MDA in other contexts, always check the state to be sure, since the same acronym can refer to different agencies in different places.
