We need leadership that knows what our options are in agriculture.
We need leadership that knows that agriculture isn't doomed. That there's so much rural areas can do to help themselves.
That there's real wealth and livelihoods to be had, if we just know how to build them.
And we DO have innovative farmers here. I'm meeting them all over North Carolina. They're young, ready to work hard, and know how to make a living by growing things people want to eat!
And we need to bring more of them in. That's how we'll turn this state around.
