PALMYRA, MO. -- Republican Candidate for US Senate in Missouri made a stop in Northeast Missouri Friday.

It's park of his Grassroots Farm tour.

Blunt spoke about immigration, education, renewable energy, and the economy.

Recently endorsed by the Missouri Farm Bureau, Blunt says he identifies with the important issues facing agriculture.

In the past 17 months he has made over 600 appearances and is listening to what Missourians have to say.

This is an email from Robin Carnahan office:

Since Congressman Blunt was talking about farming issues, I wanted to make sure that you were aware that Robin supports reinstating and extending the biodiesel tax credit. Below is a statement from me and background on how Congressman Blunt voted against it.

“While Robin supports tax incentives for renewable homegrown energy, Congressman Blunt turned his back on Missouri biofuel producers by opposing the tax credit and costing Missouri jobs. This kind of DC doublespeak where you say one thing and do another isn't just misleading and wrong - it impacts real lives. At what point will Congressman Blunt stop siding with big special interests and walk the walk on standing up for Missouri families.” – Linden Zakula, Robin Carnahan Spokesman.
