Woodward understands what makes Idaho great

Many of us received a mailer from Scott Herndon in which he alleges that his opponent increased taxes on farmers.

This is not true.

Here's what happened. Idaho's agriculture community asked for fee increases. These fees are used to support the Idaho Brand Board that is key to verifying ownership of cattle and to support the Idaho Beef Commission. Having functioning boards and commissions follows good business practices.

Agriculture is an important part of Idaho's economy and its success depends on marketing. The Idaho Farm Bureau know this and endorses Jim Woodward.

Scott Herndon's allegations show how little he knows about the business of agriculture.

Jim Woodward understands farming and how important it is to our economy and in keeping grocery prices reasonable. He knows that if you want to grow your business, you have to invest.

If Herndon has his way, we will see fewer farms and higher prices.

Vote for Jim Woodward. He understands what makes Idaho a great state.
