U.S. Rep. Richard Hudson is visiting farm communities in the 8th District this week.

His tour started today on the western end of the district and continues Tuesday in the Cape Fear region on the eastern end.

Hudson’s office says he is meeting with farm bureaus to provide a legislative update on the Farm Bill and speak with farmers about the most important issues facing the agriculture community. The meetings provide anyone with an interest in agriculture a chance to learn more about the issues and offer feedback.
