We visited the following people:
- Congressman Peter Welch and his ag staffer, Claire Benjamin
- Brian Baenig in Senator Leahy's office
- Jeff Weaver and Janko Mitric in Senator Sanders' office
- Scott Eckel in Senator Sununu's office
- Vanessa Green in Senator Gregg's office (and we briefly met Sen. Gregg)
- Mike Holland in Congressman Hughes' office
At the time of our visit, no legislative issues affecting Farm Credit or our customers were "in play." (The Farm Bill was largely settled; a conference agreement was announced on May 8th.) Paul and I expressed our thanks for past support of Farm Credit and agriculture, and we reminded everyone that immigration issues are important to our members and are still unresolved by Congress. We also handed out copies of the recently published 2007 Northeast Dairy Farm Summary.
UPDATE: Received this photo from Congressman Welch's office:
UPDATE 6/25/09: I had Sen. Sununu's name wrong before. Fixed now.
