Linda was invited to be part of a press conference/roundtable discussion of rural issues at the Iowa State fair with U.S. Secretary of Agriculture, Tom Vilsack.
Like a “good” Secretary of Agriculture, Vilsack listens as Linda makes her points about the importance of local infrastructure, rural broadband issues, and local foods.
Like a “better” Secretary of Agriculture, Secretary Vilsack takes notes as she talks! It was a great opportunity for the voices of a female, small farmer, educator and small business owner to be heard along with the traditional commodity farm groups.
Linda – Congratulations on this great, well-deserved opportunity! Looking forward to hearing/seeing it.
You look right at home there. Congrats on your valuable achievements. I put you on my desktop.
