What’s it like when the U.S. Secretary of Agriculture comes to visit a greenhouse south of Alger?
A half hour before the arrival of Ag Secretary Sonny Perdue his communications and security people enter the sprawling 4-acre greenhouse.
Soon, Hardin County Sheriff Keith Everhart and a state trooper join the crowd.
Secretary Perdue’s big RV pulls up to the door...on time, which is unusual for a high-ranking member of government. Although the Secretary has several other stops in Ohio before the day ends, he has scheduled plenty of time to talk with the owners and learn about modern greenhouse growing.
