Blunt Plans August Ag Tour

There's not a pol in this great land who just doesn't love standing next to a farmer for a prime photo op.

Rep. Roy Blunt will do a 13-farm agriculture tour on August 6th and 7th in Southwest Missouri. Stops include: Golden Oval Eggs in Neosho, Jerry Compton's Topnotch Farm north of Diamond - where a global positioning demonstration will be held - and Dan and Sarah Goosetree's poultry farm south of Rocky Comfort.

Other stops on Aug. 6th include farms in Chesapeake, Monett, Avilla and Springfield.

The following day, Blunt will tour farms in Springfield, Halfway, Bolivar, and Brighton.
Word is Sen. Claire McCaskill's office is cooking up an August farm tour as well.

Farmers are like American apple pie with ice cream on the side -- dang hard to resist, especially in the summer.
