ROANOKE, Va. – Congressman Ben Cline spent Wednesday touring farms across the Roanoke Valley.

Cline started his day in Raphine speaking to members of the agriculture community during an “AG Industry Roundtable.”

Attendees included representatives from VA Farm Credit, VA Farm Bureau, VA Cattlemen’s Association, VA Poultry Growers Cooperative, Alleghany County Farm Bureau, farmers, and local elected officials.

Cline then traveled to Lexington to visit Huffman Livestock, a leader in the industry for over 70 years.

Later that afternoon, Cline stopped in Roanoke at Cox & Frye (C&F) Farms, a local grass-fed beef farm.

The tour across the region is an opportunity for him to listen to what farmers have to say and what they need from lawmakers.
