While I am an attorney now, I have been involved in agriculture and agriculture education my entire life.
And like the FFA Creed states, “I believe in the future of agriculture with a faith born not of words but of deeds.”
I do believe in North Carolina’s ability to move back to being the leader in agriculture in both the U.S. and in the world. By joining together our research and educational facilities with the natural resources of our State and our people, we can lower energy costs, raise agricultural revenues and provide the highly skilled and educated work force needed to fill the 300 plus agriculture related careers which range from bio-technology, to research specialists, to horticulturalists, to plant and animal production. And we need an Agriculture Commissioner that understands and can work not only with farmers but with educators, exporters and law makers to put North Carolina back at the forefront of the world in agriculture.
