My last blog posed questions from a reader regarding the information Trent mentioned that he had in his hands while interviewing Secretary of Ag Tom Vilsack. I thought it may be of interest to others, as well, so I asked Trent if he could provide me with copies of the information. He was on the ball with his reply – THANK YOU, Trent!!
The paper Trent was referring to having in his hands was included in the final rule published in the Federal Register on January 26, 2012.
I had the opportunity to meet Trent Loos at the U.S. Custom Harvesters, Inc. convention last March. Trent is a true American, a cowboy and a fellow Nebraskan. The school lunch program and its requirements have been in the news lately. Trent’s interview with Secretary Of Ag, Tom Vilsack, was very interesting to me. Thank you, Trent, for asking the hard questions and challenging the Secretary with the USDA’s requirements and nonsense regulations!
