The Department of Veterans Affairs Alexandria community-based outpatient clinic held a renaming ceremony in honor of Max J. Bielke on a sunny afternoon, Sat., Sept. 11. Wonderful photo here taken by Georgene Gunderson of Kensington. More photos are on the Tribune's Facebook fan page as well as the upcoming issue of the Herman-Hoffman Tribune on September 16.

Great discussion on Ag and Rural policy took place at the Farm Bill forum in Morris today

The ag policy staff of Senator Amy Klobuchar held a 2008 Farm Bill forum at the West Central Research and Outreach Center in Morris on August 16, 2010.

Some great discussion on Ag and Rural policy took place at the forum, hosted by Murdock, MN native Dave Fredericksen. It was great to see Norcross-area farmer Dale Blume attend and give his two cents! He is shown above visiting with Agri-News reporter Carol Stender.

More will follow later...I'll have a story from the meeting in this week's August 19 issue of the Herman-Hoffman Tribune.
