Secretary Perdue Partaking in Listening Tour

Ag Secretary Sonny Perdue has made stops in Alabama and Delaware recently and now he’s embarking on a five-state listening tour through the Midwest.

“I’ve committed to farmers not only here but across the country that we want USDA to be a real partner in the productive capacity of our great American agricultural system.”

Now his tour will take him through Wisconsin, Illinois, Minnesota, Iowa and Indiana where Perdue will be looking to discuss the 2018 farm bill with producers.

“Agriculturists are innovators, they’re stewards of the land and they want to do better. They want a safe, tasty, wholesome, nutritious food supply for all of us.”

Perdue is also hoping to hear from consumers regarding what they are looking for out of the next farm bill.
