We would love to follow up on your offer to meet and share more about the work Newtrient is doing to build these environmental services marketplaces and learn more about your efforts in this area and the agricultural stakeholder outreach you are doing. As a bit of background, Newtrient is a company that shares the support of the organizations that produce more than half the milk in the country across 20,000 plus dairy farms. National Milk sits on Newtrient's board and we'd bring their D.C. based folks with us to the meeting. Steve will be coming back to D.C. Tuesday November 7th for some meetings with USDA and Hill offices. We have good availability after 11:30am. We could also do the afternoon of Monday the 6th if that works better.

They work closely with the Noble Foundation and their work is similar, only it is focused on dairy farmers rather than ranchers. They are looking to meet with you in the near future, as they have already met with the Administrator who was encouraged by their efforts. I will be happy to support from a regional/state perspective. FYI, Denise is from Oklahoma where she served as a former Corporation Commissioner and Labor Commissioner who couldn't resist the call to DC. Anyway, these are great folks! Let me know if you need anything from me. Ken KennethE.
