If you value local support of our food, please support Thicke in Iowa race
Francis Thicke has been endorsed by Harkin, and he is also endorsed by every real organic outfit out there.
So if you live in Iowa, please vote for Thicke to head the state's Agricultural Department.

If you don't live there, then please consider offering up whatever financial support you can afford.

We truly need someone in such a role to hold back the GMO Frankenfood stuffs.

1. Head of Agriculture is an elected office in Iowa??!?
Has that always been the case? I grew up in Iowa, but I don't recall that. I would have thought the Governor appointed someone to such a position.

2. These positions vary state by state.

And can also change.

In California for instance, the man heading the Agency that oversees pesticide applications and all rules and regarding those is appointed.

Whereas Jim Hightower, of Texas, first held office there because such a position is elected.
