EPA Administrators Agree to Visit Iowa
Tuesday, June 23
Late yesterday, I received word that officials from EPA, that they accepted my invitation to travel to Iowa. Both Regina McCarthy and Margo Oge will be coming to Iowa on September 3rd. I appreciate the administration's willingness to visit and see firsthand the impact their agency has on farmers and agriculture. The previous administrator has been to an Iowa farm, and we had a very good discussion about agriculture. I expect the same will happen with Assistant Administrator McCarthy and Director Oge. We'll be putting together the agenda in upcoming days, and we'll get it released as soon as possible. But, generally, we will be in the Des Moines area visiting the family farm, bio-refinery, and probably a few other places.
