Romney Gets Support from North Carolina Farmers and Ranchers

By , Farms.com

The Mitt Romney for President Campaign announced today that North Carolina Farmers and Ranchers will be backing him in the tight presidential race. This support is good news for the Romney campaign, as it will help them with reaching out to the agriculture community.

The Carolina Farmers and Ranchers feel that Romney is the best choice as Obama’s policies have cost the agriculture community job losses and not to mention have failed to give a boost to the economy. The support for Romney by the agriculture community is led by several notable leaders including, North Carolina Agriculture Commissioner Steve Troxler, Former U.S. Senator Duncan Faircloth and Former U.S. Representative and Chairman of the North Carolina Republican Party Robin Hayes. The support is comprised of an organized leadership team who will be campaigning hard over the next couple of weeks to try and win over the hearts and minds of the undecided’s and mobilize their base.
