March Luncheon Meeting

  • American Royal 1701 American Royal Ct Kansas City, MO 64102 (map)

Join us, Wednesday, March 27, for the Council’s monthly luncheon meeting featuring Congressman Sam Graves. The Congressman was the first speaker hosted by the Ag Business Council in October 2003, and we are delighted to have him back with us 20 years later.

Congressman Graves is a lifelong resident of Missouri's Sixth Congressional District. As a small businessman and a sixth-generation family farmer, Sam has spent his life working to make Missouri a better place to live, work, and raise a family.

In Congress, Sam serves as the Chairman of the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee. As Chairman, Sam leads the Committee as it has jurisdiction over all modes of transportation – our aviation system, highways and bridges, transit and rail transportation, pipelines, and maritime and waterborne transportation. Sam’s role in transportation is critical as he works on behalf of Missouri’s 34,000 highway miles and 10,400 bridges in need of maintenance and repair as well as the 6th Congressional District’s two major rivers – the Missouri and the Mississippi. Sam is also a member of the House Committee on Armed Services.

Congressman Graves was born in Tarkio, Missouri on November 7, 1963. He graduated from Tarkio High School in 1982 and attended college at the University of Missouri-Columbia, where he received his degree in Agronomy from the School of Agriculture.
