The Rural Issues Forum in London this week was a great success. With the Farm Science Review in Madison County this past week, it was an opportunity for constituents to discuss a broad range of concerns; from good rural schools to fluctuating grain prices, from genetically modified organisms to concentrated animal feeding operations, and the Farm Bill to sustainable agriculture practices.
Our guests included Joe Logan of the Ohio Farmers Union, Doug O'Brien with the Obama/Biden campaign as Rural Vote Director and former Governor of Mississippi Ray Mabus, past Ambassador to Saudi Arabia and currently a Senior Policy Advisor for Senator Obama.
Additional guests represented communities concerned with the CAFO issue in Williams, Union and Madison Counties; along with several concerned citizens from the local community.
I sincerely thank everyone who attended and hope to make this a regular event; either on an annual or bi-annual basis.
