Congressman Barrow will meet with local farmers/members of rural communities to talk about their concerns and discuss what's been going on up in Washington

Congressman John Barrow (GA-12) has announced the schedule for his 2010 Rural Listening Tour.  The 2010 Tour is planned for Tuesday, January 5, Wednesday, January 6, Thursday, January 7, and Friday, January 8.  It will include town hall meetings in 10 counties, with stops in Burke, Warren, Glascock, Washington, Jefferson, Evans, Bulloch, Candler, Emanuel, and Tattnall Counties.  Congressman Barrow will also tour farms and other facilities along the way.

Congressman Barrow schedules this tour so he can hear first-hand from constituents about the concerns and issues facing rural communities all across Georgia's 12th District. 

 "I hope folks stop by," said Barrow.  "We can talk about what's been going on in Washington, but most of all, I want to hear from them."
