Dear editor,

I urge every voter to vote for Greg Orman/John Doll, Independents for Governor and Lieutenant Governor of Kansas.

Market Disruptions damage Kansas Agriculture. The 2014 Embargo by China of all corn grown in the United States due to premature marketing of a GMO seed caused tens of thousands of farmers to suffer more than a $1.5 billion dollar drop in corn prices.

The current trade war resulting in tariffs imposed by some of our biggest trading partners is a disaster for farmers. The two-party system is broken. 

When the red and blues go to war; the truth is often the first causality. Kansas agriculture has been hit in the cross fire time-and-time again. One candidate’s policy on immigration will absolutely devastate Kansas agriculture.

Greg Orman, a successful independent businessman, impresses me as a leader who will not only rebuild, but maintain our good trading relations with the world. 

John Doll, Greg’s Lieutenant Governor running mate, belongs to a farm family which once lived in Ellinwood. I give my strongest endorsement and request you also support Greg Orman/John Doll, Independents for Governor and Lieutenant Governor of Kansas.

Kent A. Roth
