Qualifying for the October primary election ended Thursday and Incumbent Mike Strain stood as the lone candidate for Louisiana’s Agriculture and Forestry Commissioner. Strain believes it’s a compliment to his team and his work to help farmers.
“I don’t think in the history in Louisiana that AG Commissioner has ever been re-elected without opposition. So I’m very very honored to stay as we move forward continue working this term.”
The Republican veterinarian from Covington began his first term in 2008 and became the first Republican to hold the post. Strain says moving forward, he plans to resolve issues to make the agriculture industry work for farmers statewide…
“There’s two renaissance in Louisiana and in America. But we’ve got to produce more food at a less cost per unit and get that out across Louisiana, across America, across the world.”
Strain says the focus is growing more agricultural products and eliminating the challenges of food production
“So we’re going to have a number of changes. A number of challenges but we’re all going to work together. We’re very excited about where we are going. We’re going to have to work together to make sure we get there cause the ball is now in our court.”
