The U.S. Department of Agriculture is hosting its New Markets, New Jobs: The National Export Initiative Small Business Tour in Milwaukee, Wis., on Wednesday, Aug. 3, and you are invited to attend.

The tour is designed to help connect small- and medium-sized businesses with the resources they need to sell more of what they make in markets overseas and is designed to help achieve the United States' goal of doubling U.S. exports by the end of 2014 to support the creation of several million American jobs.

Check in begins at 11:45 a.m. with lunch to follow at 12:45 p.m. at the Milwaukee Grain Exchange, Mackie Building at 225 E. Michigan Street. To register, go to www.certain.com/system/profile/form/index.cfm?PKformID=0x1124136fdf5. There is a $35 registration fee.
