U.S. Senator Barack Obama's campaign has announced the endorsement of 25 former and current agricultural leaders from across the political spectrum, representing almost all of the 50 states. Among the supporters are 25 current and former leaders of the Farmers Union, including NFU President Tom Buis, six former Presidents of the National Corn Growers Association, including Fred Yoder and Leon Corzine, 22 current and former State Directors of Agriculture, including Roger Johnson, President of the National Association of State Departments of Agriculture, and 38 former State Executive Directors of the U.S. Department of Agriculture Farm Service Agency.
In response, Obama said he was humbled to receive this support from those that know America's farmers best. Obama said many of the issues facing rural America are the same that we are all facing, and that he is determined to ensure that we do all that we can to support this key industry. If we fail rural America, we fail all of America.
