Our first story comes from a story in the Kansas City Star. "Energy was the feature topic at the outdoor forum Friday, but it was agriculture — particularly related to hog farming — that drew testy comments. Kerry and Edwards pledged to help small hog farmers as large commercial operations began overshadowing them. Teresa Heinz Kerry handed her husband a note, and he invited her to stand up to speak. She talked about organic hog farming, saying she had met an Iowa hog producer who supervised 300 farms that raised hogs organically. 'It's really inspiring to see the work that they did,' she said. 'It can be done. It's economical, and there is a huge market in America.' "Before she could finish, hog farmer Winston Simpson of Clarence, Mo., jumped to his feet to say that although he appreciated her comments, farmers bristled at the idea that the Kerry campaign would make organic farming a priority. 'They freak,' Simpson said, explaining that conventional farmers did not consider organic farming to be practical and that they feared that a President Kerry would try to regulate them in that direction. Comments like those by Kerry's wife could be made into a sound bite, fueling support for Bush in the campaign, said Simpson, who called himself a diehard Democrat." Well, we keep learning more and more about the Kerry economic plan, organic hog farming, when he's talking to farmers. rushlimbaugh.com
