Secretary Vilsak's Rural Tour Comes To Las Cruces

You are invited to a Rural Tour Community Forum with U.S. Secretary of Agriculture Tom Vilsack in Las Cruces, New Mexico on September 30, 2009. Secretary Vilsack is leading the Obama Administration’s Rural Tour – which is an opportunity to discuss the efforts by the Obama Administration to rebuild and revitalize rural America.

At each stop on the Rural Tour, Secretary Vilsack has been listening to local residents about how USDA can assist them, and discussing solutions to the challenges facing their communities.

So please bring your thoughts, ideas and questions. Your input and participation would be greatly appreciated.
