I realize that I am just one person in his district of many, but being responsive to a constituent's concerns I feel is one of the most important aspects of a politician's job. I too was pleased to see that he was sponsoring this event. However, unlike yourself I feel that it would be important if an event like this would equate to some real changes in policy decisions. From my understanding, Collin Peterson's track record has been pretty consistently in line with industrial Ag. I would like to know more about his track record regarding agriculture if you or anyone else has this to share. --Gary Brian,
