| Washington, D.C.—Congressman Steve King today met with Iowa Secretary of Agriculture Bill Northey and Iowa Deputy Secretary of Agriculture Karey Claghorn.
During today’s meeting, the trio discussed the Farm Bill, environmental and water regulations, payment limitations, bio-fuel production, as well as other issues important to Iowa agriculture.
"Iowa is an international leader in agriculture. To be sure the concerns of Iowa farmers are addressed, we have to work together so that Washington-types tap into the knowledge of local issues only farmers themselves have," said Congressman King. "I work with Secretary Northey and Deputy Secretary Claghorn to do exactly that. I can’t think of any better representatives for Iowa’s farmers than Northey and Claghorn. Working together with them, we will get a better deal for Iowa’s farmers."
