(Washington, D.C.) Representative Mike Ross (D-4) today announced his
support for Wal-Mart’s decision to spotlight Arkansas farm-raised catfish
in Supercenter stores statewide. The retailer’s new initiative will
be unveiled tomorrow at the Wal-Mart Supercenter in Pine Bluff with Rep.
Ross, Wal-Mart representatives and local catfish farmers in attendance.
Ross has been a vocal supporter of this program and is pleased with
Wal-Mart’s decision. “Our local catfish farmers are an integral part
of the state’s economy, and I am thrilled Wal-Mart is partnering with them
in an effort to increase awareness and revenue for the catfish industry,”
said Ross.
“Combining a billion dollar industry with the country’s largest retailer
is a recipe for success in my book. I am confident neither party
will be disappointed with this partnership, and I am hopeful that Wal-Mart
will expand this program to neighboring states for continued success in
the future.” |
