Rep. Cline Hosts Annual Sixth District Agriculture Conference

Today, Congressman Ben Cline (VA-06) hosted his annual Agriculture Conference, visiting multiple agriculture operations and facilities across Virginia's Sixth Congressional District.

Rep. Cline toured multiple locations in Augusta and Rockbridge counties including MC Livestock operation and Shenandoah Valley Agricultural Research and Extension Center at McCormick Farm. He also held a roundtable with Valley farmers and agriculture leaders at the Virginia Horse Center to hear their needs and concerns on how decisions in Washington impact their industry.

"Virginia's Sixth District is home to some of the most knowledgeable and hard-working farmers in the country," Rep. Cline said. "Whether it's protecting Valley farmland and expanding opportunities for young farmers, putting American farmers first in trade negotiations, or cutting unnecessary government red tape, I'll continue working to ensure our agricultural community has the support it needs to grow and succeed."

Congressman Ben Cline represents the Sixth Congressional District of Virginia. He serves on the House Appropriations Subcommittee on Agriculture, Rural Development, Food and Drug Administration, and Related Agencies. Cline and his wife, Elizabeth, live in Botetourt County with their two children.
