nafbSomehow I neglected to do a post on Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack being at NAFB last week. He did a press conference and attended the NAFB Foundation luncheon where he spoke and helped to honor this year’s scholarship winners.

Not a whole lot of newsy information out of the Secretary’s visit, but it was nice to have him there. He had nice things to say about farm broadcasters and their service to agriculture and talked a lot about Veteran’s Day. Here is his opening statement from the news conference, introduced by president Pam Jahnke.
