Sen. Lincoln To Visit Memphis
Tommy Horton
The program for this year's Mid-South Farm & Gin Show has received a big boost with the announcement that Sen. Blanche Lincoln (D-Ark.) will speak at 1:30 p.m. on Saturday, Feb. 27, at the Memphis Cook Convention Center.
Lincoln, a long-time supporter of the U.S. cotton industry, is currently the chairman of the Senate Agriculture Committee and is seeking re-election in November.
She is one of several speakers who are on the program during the two-day event, which begins on Friday, Feb. 26.
Tim Price, show manager and executive vice president of the Southern Cotton Ginners Association, says Lincoln will receive a special tour of the exhibits before making an address to attendees.
"We have wanted to have her here for a long time, and the schedule worked out well this year," says Price. "Everyone knows about her commitment to agriculture, and it will be very exciting to have her at our show."
