Gore Loses Key Weapon in Fight for Heartland Economy: Pinched agriculture prices make the rural vote a tough
row to hoe for the vice president.

By STEPHANIE SIMON, Times Staff Writer

BLUE MOUNDS, Wis.--Prosperity?
What prosperity?
Dairy farmer Gary Sutter doesn't see it. He stands in grimy
jacket and grimier jeans, his hands the grimiest of all, and says, as
his cows clump together in the dusk, that times here have never
been worse.
Rob Riley sure as heck can't see it either. His wife works two
jobs and so does he, as a farmhand and an installer of dairy
equipment. "And for what?" he asks, the words curt with disgust.
Prosperity? Yeah, right.
Democratic candidate Al Gore can talk up the economy till he's
blue, but he's not going to nudge milk prices up a cent. He's out
there bragging, "You ain't seen nothing yet"? That's just what folks
here are afraid of.
