Dear Mr. Administrator,
Thank you very much for taking time out of your schedule last Thursday to meet and talk with several members of the CEO Council (listed below). Everyone thought we had a very productive discussion around the EPA issues that impact production ag, and we offer our collective support for the approach that you are bringing anew to EPA.
Please find attached a short narrative recap of many of the leading ag environmental issues that our group had prepared in advance of our meeting with you.
We look forward to working with you and your staff in the days ahead.
