Growing up on a farm (although by the time I came along, my Dad had quit farming in favor of other business endeavors) I learned a lot. Most important we’re the values it taught me from the people—the neighbors we knew—and the lifestyle we enjoyed.

Here, former Indiana Governor Mitch Daniels, whom I once met, sums it up well. He’s now president of Purdue University, a land grant institution not unlike NDSU.

Great observations. Well said, Governor.

What a good article. My wife & I are so happy to be living in a state (ND) where agriculture is not only still very important, but is still woven in the fabric of our daily life. Yes, oil is very important & is bringing in a lot of money into the state, but agriculture is our backbone.

I so agree!

Congratulations to Jack McDonald on this well deserved honor!
For as long as I’ve served in the Legislatrue, Jack has been one of the well-known, well-respected lobbyists at the Capitol (and contrary to some current public opinion and outright smears of those in this line of work, in North Dakota, lobbyists are competent, honest professionals who represent their clients ethically and share important information with legislators who, of course, know that they come representing their clients and bear that in mind, but as long as they do so honestly and ethically, which they do, we value their input and treat them with the respect they deserve).
Jack has frequently appeared before my committees, speaking for media, upholding the principles of free speech, freedom of the press, open meetings and open records.
He, along with the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, presented me with an award for my legislative service from the State Bar Association of North Dakota (the state’s association of attorneys) a few years ago. I was pleased to be able to congratulate him, in person, yesterday, on his award.
Congratulations, Jack!
