Smith: You know, I’m a fifth-generation farmer. My great-great-granddaddy, my farm where I live today, we’ll be 100 years in our family as a farm March 1, 2022. To me, it’s generational producers. That’s what I’m here for, especially our producers, our farmers. The reason I ran for office was to be a representative of faith, family and farming. And that’s what I was for. And I’m still that way. It’s faith, family and farming to me. … You know, I’m an old one, but I can tell you what, there are some young ones around here too, that just started out and they’re pretty excited about being able to remain viable and sustainable as a business in this environment. That’s exciting. And I want to support that.
