Tate:
Below is a list of organizations I would suggest inviting to the meeting next week:
MN Agribusiness/Farm/Commodity organizations:
MN AgriGrowth Council MN Pork Producers Assn MN Turkey Growers Assn Chicken and Egg Assn of MN MN Corn Growers Association MN Soybean Growers Association MN Milk Producers Association MN Wheat Growers Association MN State Cattlemen's Association Red River Valley Sugarbeet Growers Association MN Farm Bureau MN Farmers Union MN Agricultural Waters Resource Center
MN Agribusiness:
CHS Land O Lakes Cargill Hormel Mosaic
There are a few more agribusinesses I can also add to the list, but for now, let me know how this list looks to you.
In terms of an invite to the meeting - would you like it to come from AgriGrowth or EPA? I'm fine with AgriGrowth sending out the invite if it's helpful, but would need additional details regarding the Adminstrator's purpose in coming and interest in meeting w/ MN ag leaders regarding fixes to WOTUS.
As mentioned yesterday, my office is located in downtown St. Paul just a few minutes from the state capitol. In terms of length of meeting, I'm hopeful we could plan for at least an hour, factoring in introductions, etc.
I'm in the office all day today - if possible, invitations should probably get sent out yet today.
Thanks.
Perry

Let's just go with your place. Easier for everyone if that is OK. Do you know Jeff Harrison with Combest Sell?

Tate - have not been able to identify a farm close to the Twin Cities. Am checking with one of my member companies about hosting. Otherwise, I do have a large conference room at my office in downtown St. Paul that can hold 30-35 or so. It also has a security desk which might be helpful for the admistrator's visit.
I will get you a list of potential invitees later this evening or tomorrow morning.
