Good morning. Today we are having new committee orientation in Washington, DC. It is exciting to see the new members in action. We as a farming organization enjoy building relationships and this is an excellent way to do this. We are each taking valuable time away from the two most important things to us, our families and our farms. The reason for this is very important, we are learning how others around the nation face many of the same challenges. In order to continue to clothe and feed the most powerful nation ourselves we all need to work together.
