This week's Open Mic guest is Representative Tracey Mann.  As the representative of the Big First District in Kansas, Mann is concerned about the farm economy and the challenges especially crop farmers are facing now. He sees the need for financial assistance for row crop farmers but also recognizes the fiscal challenges before the nation. He is hopeful to see a farm bill approved before the end of the year but says budget and and spending issues are at the top of the list of priorities facing the nation.
