White House Farmer

**S* H* <s*@saxonholt.com>**

I am amazed at what happens a little internet viral connections.  Did  
this list know there is a voting process underway to pick a White  
House farmer ?

I posted a long blog entry to Gardening Gone Wild about the  
Ecological Farming Conference http://www.gardeninggonewild.com, and  
now out of the woodwork I get folks telling me about the voting for  
next White House Farmer.  http://whitehousefarmer.com/

Voting is now underway and there are candidates from every State.   
The top 3 vote getters on Jan 31 will be submitted to the president.   
It may not actually happen, but the process of selecting is in place.

I am voting for Shep Ogden who a lot us here know from Garden Writers  
and I know well enough personally to know would do a good job.  There  
are other imminently qualified candidates (many of whom would be too  
busy to actually take the job).

The link to the voting page is: http://whitehousefarmer.com/?page_id=119
