WASHINGTON, March 5, 2015 – Help Agri-Pulse celebrate Ag Day in Washington, D.C. Please join Agri-Pulse on Tuesday, March 17 for a discussion on “Farm to Fork Politics: Unleashing Innovation in Agriculture.”

The event is from 3:30 – 5 p.m. in Room 902 of the Hart Office Building, located on Constitution Avenue between 1st and 2nd Streets NE in Washington, D.C.
