GENESEO, Ill. U.S. Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack said he understands the skepticism in rural areas over the proposal to cap carbon emissions but urged about 200 people here to embrace the change for its potential opportunities.
Vilsack, a former Iowa governor, visited the high school here Monday as part of a series of stops in recent weeks aimed at touting the federal stimulus package and explaining the departments role in rural America.
He took questions for about an hour.
Afterward, he ate lunch at Sweet Peas Grill, a local spot.
