A change in the House of Representatives December schedule will allow Representative Adrian Smith from Nebraska’s Third Congressional District to attend the 2008 Nebraska Farmers Union State Convention at the Howard Johnson Riverside Inn in Grand Island.
Representative Smith will speak to the Convention at the Friday noon luncheon in addition to Dave Frengel of the Coalition for A Prosperous America. Representative Smith, a Member of the House of Representatives Agriculture Committee will share his thoughts on the 2008 Farm Bill and the challenges ahead facing Nebraska agriculture.
“We are extremely pleased that Congressman Smith will be able to participate in our State Convention this year. Now, in addition to hearing from Senator Ben Nelson, who is a member of the Senate Agriculture Committee, we can hear from Representative Smith, who is a member of the House of Representatives Agriculture Committee. Given the challenges from gyrating production costs and commodity prices, the meltdown in the banking system, and an escalating federal budget and fiscal crisis, production agriculture is a long ways from out of the woods. It is imperative that production agriculture get informed, and stay in touch with our elected officials in the days ahead. We are thankful that the Congressional schedule will allow Congressman Smith to be a part of our State Convention this year,” Nebraska Farmers Union President John Hansen said.
