Question by Joe C: How about if Obama could appoint Jim Hightower as Secretary of Agriculture?
Man, I wish he could… For those of you who don’t know him, he is someone really on the ball as far as helping the small family farmer. Hightower was around when Earl Butz, under the Nixon Administration first started rising the cost of food prices, and then as a proponent of Organic Agriculture in Texas, he lasted until about, 1991, the middle of the first Bush Administration.
