Live from the Iowa State Fair...

It was a packed day at the Iowa State Fair. First, Secretary Vilsack was joined by Congressman Leonard Boswell for a rural forum event.

After the forum, Vilsack stopped by the Pork Producers' to help with the grilling and catch up with Iowa Secretary of Agriculture Bill Northey.

Last stop at the Fair was a KGGO radio to visit Lou and Heather. While there, the Secretary beat the Text Message National Champion; not quite as fast but he was more accurate in texting ZZ Top lyrics.
