Our U.S. Secretary of Agriculture Tom Vilsack gave a sequester day speech here at Commodity Classic. I have not had time to digest it all but he did start out by saying how happy he is to be visiting Classic because it takes him out of Washington, DC, and especially today. As you can imagine you’ll hear a lot about sequester, budgets, spending, cuts, frustration, etc.

I’ve got both his speech and press conference available for you here to listen, download and share:
