Aaron Schock

Washington, Jul 18 - Congressman Aaron Schock (R-IL) announced today that he will be hosting an Agricultural Summit this August. Schock will be hosting the Ag Summit on August 7th, 2012 at Lincoln College in Lincoln, Illinois. Joining Schock will be the Chairman of the House Agriculture Committee, Congressman Frank Lucas of Oklahoma. 

“Agriculture is the number one employer in the 18th district. The Ag community is also one of the most dynamic and adaptable industries in our country; meaning farmers have to deal with everything from drought conditions to flooding. On top of that, they are asked to navigate the endless amounts of red tape and regulations that Washington bureaucrats continue to hand down. The Ag Summit will bring everyone together and discuss the top concerns and issues they face, so that we can solve them together,” said Congressman Aaron Schock. “It’s a great privilege that House Agriculture Committee Chairman Frank Lucas will be attending the summit. His insight will provide an expertise that I know will be greatly beneficial to the Ag community in Illinois.”
