In the two years that President Obama and Agriculture Secretary Vilsack have been in office, those involved in production agriculture have participated in driving a sustained economic recovery. That’s the message I delivered earlier this week to farmers, extension staff, local business leaders and government officials during a speech at Alcorn State University in Mississippi. I was honored to be asked to address those in attendance at the 20th annual Small Farmers Conference at Alcorn State. The theme is “Sowing the Seeds of Opportunity for a Bountiful Harvest.”
