On June 5 we will be voting for Craig Langin the Iowa secretary of agriculture primary.
We have know Craig and his family for almost 25 years and have watched him raise his family and farm while providing valuable leadership. Craig was president of the Iowa Farm Bureau for 10 years and led it through one of its toughest times. As president of the Farm Bureau, Craig is the only candidate who has organized and won a statewide campaign.
He served on the Iowa Board of Regents for six years, two years as its president. Craig also served on the Iowa Economic Development Board under Gov. Tom Vilsack.
Craig has the vision for Iowa agriculture that is needed today. He has state, national and international experience that will be extremely valuable in the position of Iowa secretary of agriculture.
He is determined to make our state's soils healthier and our water cleaner. Having known Craig all these years, we know when he sets his mind to something, he gets it done. Please join us in voting for Craig Lang, the right person for Iowa agriculture.
