Since I was a boy - born into a farming family in Bonaire, GA - I've had agriculture running through my veins.
Our form of government depends on a mutual bond of trust between the people and their government. But people have become cynical about their government.
I am a small business owner I'm in the agri-business. That's about as blind a trust as you can get. We trust in the Lord for rain and many other things.
Our best teachers do more than impart facts and figures - they inspire and encourage students and instill a true desire to learn. That's a fine art in itself.
My philosophy of leadership is to surround myself with good people who have ability, judgment and knowledge, but above all, a passion for service.
I call it people-to-people politics and that's what politics should be about, reaching out and helping one another and touching one another about what we're going to do.
