August 24 - Kansas City Board of Trade
Kansas City –Speaker of the Missouri House of Representatives Rod Jetton, R-Marble Hill, spent this afternoon with fellow Representatives touring the Kansas City Board of Trade. This tour is one stop on the Speaker’s nearly three week tour of the state to highlight agriculture in Missouri.
“This tour has been a wonderful opportunity for me and the other Represetatives who have joined me to learn about all the different businesses and organizations involved in Missouri’s agriculture community,” said Speaker Jetton. “Trading organizations like this are absolutely invaluable for our farmers so they can lock in prices and help guarantee a good price for the products they produce.”
