3rd District candidate Hanson

Nice article explaining Hanson's role on the Osbourne staff, his personal history and where he diagrees with his former boos on ag policy. I like his thinking regarding alternative crops, which I personally believe should be an important plank on the platform of anyone purporting to support the American farmer. We raise plenty of corn, beans, etc.; far too much in fact. A little innovative thinking on crops could go a long way to save the little guy/small farmer in my book, it's almost reprehensible that the bureaucrats and big ag don't think they need to make any changes. (hey, we're making money, so why change to help out the locals?) Hanson might be the most qualified candidate for the seat given his experience working in Congress, but I don't know if his fundraising will be adequate. Of course, Smith and Vavricek also have political experience, albeit at a more local level (Unicameral and GI Mayor).
