U.S. Secretary of Agriculture Sonny Perdue made a stop in his home state's Capital on Wednesday.

The former Georgia governor was in Atlanta speaking at the International Production and Processing Expo, also known as the IPPE, at the Georgia World Congress Center.

Perdue spoke on several topics from President Trump's State of the Union, including how agricultural businesses will benefit from the coming tax cuts, how investing in infrastructure is crucial for agriculture success, and how proposed immigration policies will affect producers.

Perdue told the group he was honored to be a part of an administration that, he said, is consistently works for rural and agricultural prosperity.
