The state Department of Agriculture serves a major role in North Dakota, and it matters greatly who leads it.
Its commissioner does more than administer programs. The ag commissioner has the capacity to determine priorities in how the department serves the agricultural industry in the state. The commissioner can, to an increasing degree, lead the efforts of producers to develop markets for the food, fiber and, nowadays, sources of fuel that come from the state’s farms and ranches.
Roger Johnson has been leading the department capably since 1996, but it’s time to inject new ideas and new energy.Doug Goehring, a Menoken farmer, would be a good choice to lead the department in this critical era for the state’s farmers, ranchers and the people in the economic engine that agriculture sustains — in a sense, all of us in the state.
The Tribune urges voters to approve Goehring.

Glad to see that the Tribune is on Goehring's side for this one. I had the feeling that they would do the same as they did for Conrad and Pomeroy on this one. After losing by just 1,878 votes in '04,.it is time for Doug Goehring!
