National Ag Day

     Last week was very uneventful due to the Senate not being in session but so far this week has been pretty exciting. Yesterday I gave a tour to an older group of people. Two of them had just gotten smart phones so they sometimes needed my assistance in figuring out how to take photos on the tour.

     Today was National Ag Day! A new Iowa Statue was dedicated in National Statuary Hall. The Norman Borlaug statue. He will replace the statue of James Harlan. I watched the unveiling on TV at work. It was cool to see everyone speak and the "Iowa Corn Song" was sung. I didn't even know we had a corn song. I also attended a luncheon today being emceed by Orion Samuelson, the Ag broadcaster. He introduced some people who were being inducted into the Outstanding Farmers Association and Senator Boozman spoke at it as well. Several FFA members were also in attendance.

     I have a Judiciary committee, Health Education Labor Pensions, and several more tours this week.
