leanin' H said:Maybe former Iowa gov Tom Vilsack. I googled the question and saw lots of folks with little or no ag backgrounds! spooky! Even saw a professor of journalism at UC-Berkley! Sounds like a huge help for ranching and farming! Wonder who McCain would of chosen?

Tom Vilsack - former governor of Iowa
Tom Buis - president National Farmers Union
Collin Peterson - chair ag committee U.S. House of Reps
Don't know much about Buis, but I'm not real thrilled about any of them and I doubt many people invovled in sustainable ag are. They are all pretty tight with industry and all very moderate.
We need someone with some vision and independence in this position because the system is broke.

Won't be Daschle- they just announced that Obama appointed him to be the HHS Secretary...
