Mr Evers is an intelligent leader and recognizes the strategic importance of agriculture and the stabilizing effect it offers to any nation/state.
When the break away republics begin to form, I hope that Mr Evers is at the Helm of Northwest Florida.
If it weren’t for our agricultural business and our wonderful farmers we would have nothing to eat! We would not have cotton or wool clothes or leather for our shoes. Thank you for promoting both, Mr. Evers!
