Summary
[edit].jpg&action=edit§ion=1){kind=link}
| Description | U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Secretary Sonny Perdue and Mrs. Mary Perdue visit the Mississippi Valley Fair, and meet with fairgoers, livestock show presenters, 4-H teams that showcase agriculture-related STEM education, and participate in a farm safety demonstration with first responders learning how to free a mock operator that has been pinned under an overturned tractor, and news media for interviews along the way, in Davenport, IA, on Aug. 6, 2017. Secretary Perdue's stop here is part of a five-state RV tour, featuring stops in five states: Wisconsin, Minnesota, Iowa, Illinois, and Indiana; titled the “Back to Our Roots” Tour, he is gathering input on the 2018 Farm Bill and increasing rural prosperity, Aug. 3-8, 2017. Along the way, Perdue will meet with farmers, ranchers, foresters, producers, students, governors, Members of Congress, U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) employees, and other stakeholders. This is the first of two RV tours the secretary will undertake this summer. “The ‘Back to our Roots’ Farm Bill and rural prosperity RV listening tour will allow us to hear directly from people in agriculture across the country, as well as our consumers – they are the ones on the front lines of American agriculture and they know best what the current issues are,” Perdue said. “USDA will be intimately involved as Congress deliberates and formulates the 2018 Farm Bill. We are committed to making the resources and the research available so that Congress can make good facts-based, data-driven decisions. It’s important to look at past practices to see what has worked and what has not worked, so that we create a farm bill for the future that will be embraced by American agriculture in 2018.” For social media purposes, Secretary Perdue’s Twitter account (@SecretarySonny) will be using the hashtag #BackToOurRoots.
