Perdue Scheduled To Make Inland Northwest Stop Thursday

Ag Secretary Sonny Perdue will visit the Northwest over the next couple of days. On Thursday, the Secretary will participate in a Farmers to Families Food Box event with Representative Cathy McMorris Rodgers in Liberty Lake.

After the Thursday afternoon tour and food box demonstration, Perdue will travel to north Idaho, where he will participate in a forestry Roundtable with Governor Brad Little and Representative Russ Fulcher.

Then on Friday, Secretary Perdue will travel east to Missoula where he will sign a shared stewardship memo announcing a blueprint to modernize the Forest Service, and then he will speak at a forestry event with Senator Steve Daines.
