Today, Case New Holland (CNH) hosted Congressman Collin Peterson,
Chairman of the United States House of Representatives Committee on
Agriculture, at its Case IH Benson, MN manufacturing plant, which
produces crop control application equipment (sprayers, floaters and
applicators) and cotton pickers. In addition to participating in a
plant tour, Chairman Peterson had the opportunity to ride a Case IH
Titan 4520 Floater, manufactured in the Benson facility.

"We were honored to again host Chairman Peterson today in Benson,"
said Kim Heiden, Plant Manager. "We look forward to continuing our
work with the Chairman to provide and create great jobs for Minnesota
like the more than 400 here at our Benson plant."

Following the plant tour, Chairman Peterson had the opportunity to
speak with CNH employees at the Benson plant about a variety of issues
including the Ag industry, exports, and manufacturing jobs in the US.

"We look forward to our continuing dialogue with the Chairman to
support President Obama's goal of doubling US exports in the next five
years," said Joseph Samora, Senior Vice President, CNH. CNH exported
more than one third of its production from its Benson plant in 2009.

Congressman Peterson has represented Minnesota's 7th Congressional
District since 1991 and has chaired the House Committee on Agriculture
since 2007.
