They w ork closely w ith the Noble Foundation and their w ork is similar, only it is focused on dairy farm ers rather than ranchers. They are looking to m eet w ith you in the near future, as they have already met with the Adm inistrator who was encouraged by their efforts. Iwill be happy to support from a regional/state perspective. FYI, Denise is from Oklahom a w here she served as a form er Corporation Com m issioner and Labor Com m issioner who couldn't resist the call to DC. Anyway, these are great folks!
