BURNS CAMPAIGNS WITH U.S. SECRETARY OF AGRICULTURE IN GEORGIA'S NEW 12TH DISTRICT

(SAVANNAH, GEORGIA) - Max Burns, former Congressman and candidate for Georgia's new 12th District, today campaigned with U.S. Secretary of Agriculture Mike Johanns during visits in Georgia's new 12th District. Burns and Secretary Johanns met with farmers who's fields have been affected by disaster, discussed farm policy with local 12th District farmers at a listening session in Bulloch County and toured a cotton gin and onion operation in Candler County.

"I appreciate Secretary Johanns visit to Georgia's new 12th District," said Burns. "I am glad the Secretary was able to see what I already know: Georgia farmers grow the best food and fiber in the world. I wanted the Secretary to hear first hand the needs of our farming community so he can take back to Washington what he learned from them and craft agriculture policy that is beneficial to Georgia farmers."
