The written comments of five-hundred Iowans have been printed and bound intoa “Book on Agriculture.” Governor Tom Vilsack’s staff compiled the commentsfrom hand-written pages submitted by Iowans who attended the State Fair.Vilsack is sending copies of the book to all the presidential candidates andthe leaders of Congress.Vilsack says it would be nice if American Agriculture spoke with “one voice”but that’s not the case.Vilsack hopes the book will help spur Congressional action on emergency helpfor farmers — and a long-term debate about plowing new ground with U-S agand trade policies.
