Secretary Perdue Plans Fourth RV Tour

Agriculture Secretary Sonny Perdue will hit the road Monday on his fourth “Back to our Roots” RV tour. The tour will last through Thursday and include stops in New Mexico, Colorado, Wyoming and Nebraska as an effort to hear from farmers and others. As Congress and the administration continue their work on issues like rural infrastructure, trade, and the farm bill, Perdue says “USDA stands ready to give the agriculture community a voice.”

This is Secretary Perdue’s fourth “Back to Our Roots” tour since taking office just over a year ago. On his first tour in August of 2017, Secretary Perdue toured Wisconsin, Minnesota, Iowa, Illinois and Indiana. In September of 2017, Secretary Perdue traveled on his second tour to Connecticut, Massachusetts and New Hampshire. Most recently, Secretary Perdue visited Michigan, Ohio and Kentucky during his third tour in early April.
