Farmgirl Heroes Alert

I was reading this story on CattleNetwork.com about the death of Nebraska’s anti-corporate farming law and the threat to North Dakota’s legislation because of recent court rulings, when I came across a quote from someone who seemed suspiciously farmgirlish. Indeed, Jessica Shoemaker, a staff attorney with the Farmers Legal Action Group in St. Paul, Minn., grew up with family farming in Wisconsin and Iowa and has an affinity for the rural life. And it’s probably no surprise that several of the attorneys working at FLAG have family farm roots or, like Farmgirl Jill Krueger, would like to.
