The jab did not bother the Vice President. I'm not talking about any other candidates, and I'm not going to say anything negative about him at all. I'm focused on my own campaign. The farm crisis is at the top of both candidates' agendas here. Drought is not the problem.
Predictions are for the third best corn crop in history.
The Vice President chose one of Iowa's 13,000 farms that have been family-owned for more than 100 years to stress his understanding of the crisis. Farming may be a smaller part of the overall employment in our country than it was when this family first owned this farm 107 years ago, but there are still 22 million jobs in America that are directly and indirectly tied to the farm, and we need to save those jobs and those farms, and I promise you I'll do everything to accomplish that result. Corn and soybean farmers sue and Keith McKinney think Gore gets it when it comes to farm issues. The Vice President and his wife overnighted with the McKinneys in April. I came away with the idea that he really did understand.
