		<description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Yes.  More resources for specialty crops and conservation programs.  Maine just passed Vermont as the New England state with the greatest revenue from agriculture.  We have more organic farms and lots of local producers finding local buyers.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.getrealgetmaine.com/&quot;&gt;Get Real, Get Maine&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Short growing seasons are something we can’t change, unfortunately….&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;#comment-1025893&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;Tom Allen @ 74&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;
…&lt;br /&gt;
Whew is right!  I know where you are coming from.  My goal in this campaign is to do everything I can to change the direction of the country, in our domestic, economic and foreign policy.  People in Maine are struggling with stagnant wages and rising costs.  They find it harder to cope in a world of greater insecurity and all they want is a fighting chance for a better life for themselves and their families.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Well said!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;What is the standard Mainers demand of their government? Are you the candidate to force our government up to that standard?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;To me it sounds like you are.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;p&gt;My finest childhood memories are of visiting family farms.  Getting up early, feeding the chickens and watching the farmers milk the cows with special machinery.  Being blown away that the sheepdogs could round up the sheep the way they did.  Fixing HUGE breakfasts for the farmers, and then playing in the hayloft.  Looking the calves in their beautiful eyes.  Such fantastic memories…&lt;/p&gt;</description>

&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;Is Ned Lamont going to campaign for you?  Would you welcome it if he were willing?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Ned came up this summer to campaign for me.  I’m glad to have his support.  &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I’m sorry that I have to go, this has been great.  Thank you for your support, and for having me on tonight.&lt;/p&gt;</description>
