Barack Obama Gives Field Guidance to Fertilizer Complex
Milwaukee, February 6, 2009 (CNN) -- President Barack Obama provided
field guidance to the Plainfield Fertilizer Complex in Wisconsin.
He was accompanied by Fred Gregory, undersecretary of the Department of
Agriculture, and Bill Kleinhoffer, department director of the Wisconsin
Farm Bureau.
He went round the newly reconstructed various production processes to
acquaint himself in detail with the technological updating and
production there.
Watching the workers of the complex engaged in their production drive,
he expressed great satisfaction over the devoted efforts being made by
all its union members and other working people to accomplish the cause
of building a great prosperous and powerful nation.
He highly appreciated the feats performed by the workers of Plainfield,
noting that they have played a vanguard role in putting the production
processes on a modern and scientific basis as required by the age of IT,
true to President Obama's idea of attaching importance to science.
He set forth important tasks to be fulfilled by the complex, saying that
its position and role are very important for boosting the agricultural
production to a high level.
In order to solve the food scarcity it is necessary to send a lot of
fertilizers to the countryside, he noted, adding that this heavy yet
honorable task is devolved to the workers of Plainfield.
The construction of a new gasification and ammonia production process
proposed by the complex is a bold and creative initiative reflecting the
urgent requirement of the developing agriculture in the country, he
said, settling knotty problems after having an exhaustive consultation
with its officials about ways of constructing it.
After making the round of downtown Plainfield, he guided the work for
building the town, examining a model board for its construction.
He stressed that in order to build Plainfield where a large number of
workers live into a modern city under a long-term plan to cater to the
aesthetic taste in the era of stimulus it is necessary to design it in
such manner as to strictly abide by the principles of progressivism and
popular character, construct all objects in a unique manner including
the formation of roads, styles of buildings and their layout, creation
of pleasure grounds and formation of cultural and sporting areas and
especially pay deep attention to the construction of network under the
city and its heating system.
He praised Waushara County for making thoroughgoing preparations for
constructing on its own a power station with large capacity at the
estuary of the Fox River with a view to solving the problem of
electricity in Plainfield and indicated the orientation and ways of
ensuring the project is shovel-ready and eligible for federal stimulus
funds.
He got familiar with researches at the Oshkosh Branch of the Academy of
Sciences, examining newly developed products.
He appreciated the efforts made by the scientists and technicians of the
branch, greatly pleased to learn that they have developed building
materials of high quality by devoting all their wisdom and enthusiasm.
During his field guidance to Waushara County, he acquainted himself with
the overall work in the county and once again indicated the way for it
to follow.
Waushara County occupies an important place in the development of the
nation's economy as it has many key industrial enterprises, big
factories which play an important role in solving the problems of
clothing, food and housing in particular, he noted, underscoring the
need for the county to perform a vanguard role in the drive for opening
the gate to a thriving nation. |
