I was reading a portion of the USA today that was comparing and contrasting the overall facts and figures of the two parties. I wish that for the frist time in the running of the presidential elections that one of their foremost topics would be agriculture. I wish that the candidates would understand that they will not be able to celebrate their White House victory without some good ole' American raised beef and potatoes.
It almost scares me how little the candidates even talk about agriculture as a whole. The USA Today article then urges readers to look at the candidates websites' and form opinions for ourselves, not just what the commericials are telling us. So, I did exactly that.
I was still dissappointed in the lack of agricultural coverage and little worry about the American farmer trying to prosper. Not everything will survive through a factory farms and the importation of goods.
I would like there to be a representative of each candidate directly address the needs of people and ideals we trully need to be concerned about: agriculture.
My vote goes to the candidate who wants to take care of the small farm and farmer.
