Press Release: Smith Announces 2nd Annual Farm Tour

Aug 15, 2014

Smith will visit each of the 30 counties in the Eighth Congressional District on his Farm Tour

WASHINGTON – Today, Friday, August 15, 2014, Congressman Jason Smith announced the schedule for his 2nd Annual Farm Tour.  Smith’s tour throughout the 30 counties of Missouri’s Eighth Congressional District will start on Tuesday, August 19th and will run through Friday, August 29th.

Agriculture is the number one industry in our Eighth Congressional District and it is essential to the health of our rural economy. Our district is one of the most diverse agriculture districts in the country growing everything except sugar and citrus fruits. I am looking forward to being on my Farm Tour and meeting the families who farm the land and raise livestock in our region. I will be visiting livestock operations ranging from cattle and pigs to goats and horses. We will also see row crops like rice, corn, soybeans and cotton. Along the way we will event visit a saw mill, walnut tree farm and an apple orchard. The information I learn on the Farm Tour will be critical as a new Farm Bill is being implemented and policy is being crafted in Washington.
