    GOVERNORS The National Mood and the Seats in Play: Understanding the 2016 Gubernatorial Elections By Jennifer M. Jensen and Thad Beyle With a national anti-establishment mood and 12 gubernatorial elections—eight in states with a Democrat as sitting governor—the Republicans were optimistic that they would strengthen their hand as they headed into the November elections. Republicans already held 31 governor- ships to the Democrats’ 18—Alaska Gov. Bill Walker is an Independent—and with about half the gubernatorial elections considered competitive, Republicans had the potential to increase their control to 36 governors’ mansions. For their part, Democrats had a realistic chance to convert only a couple of Republican governorships to their party. Given the party’s win-loss potential, Republicans were optimistic, in a good position.

  • Louisiana Ag Chiefs: Past and Present by Bill Sherman Harry D
    Celebrate Independence Day VOL. 91, No. 14 www.ldaf.state.la.us July 3, 2008 Louisiana ag chiefs: past and present By Bill Sherman Harry D. Wilson of Tangipahoa parish holds the title as longest serving Agriculture Commissioner in Louisiana. Wilson was elected in 1916 and served as Commissioner until his death in January 1948 – a total of 32 years. Wilson who was referred to as “Uncle Harry” or “Mister Harry,” was 78 when he died. Accomplishments under his administration included the establishment of the Market Bulletin, an agriculture based newspaper that afforded farmers and landowners a way to buy and sell farm-related goods and services. Wilson also helped develop the seed laboratory and pushed for an increase in entomological work within the department. He created an agricultural museum in the basement of the State Capitol with a colorful display of Louisiana’s diverse agriculture industry and touted Louisiana products as “the finest anywhere.” Wilson was chairman of the Southern Commissioners of Agriculture for 22 years and served as past president of the organization. At the turn of the 20th century, Tangipahoa Parish, like much of the South, was home to a thriving cotton industry. Wilson was one of the orig- inal organizers of the Cotton Consumption Council and former president of the Association for the Increased Use of Cotton. Wilson was very proud of his roots and his hometown of Independence. While on his death bed in the Our Lady of the Lake hospital in Baton Rouge, Wilson had regained consciousness after seven days in a coma and told the nurse, “Turn me toward Tangipahoa.” Harry D.

  • OFFICIAL BRAND BOOK of the STATE of LOUISIANA 2015 Brand
    OFFICIAL BRAND BOOK OF THE STATE OF LOUISIANA 2015 Brand Book Contains all the Livestock Brands on record in the State Office at the Louisiana Department of Agriculture and Forestry in Baton Rouge, Louisiana up to the Close of Business on February 10, 2015 and as provided for in Paragraph 741, Chapter 7, of the Louisiana Revised Statutes of 1950. Issued by The Louisiana Department of Agriculture and Forestry Animal Health and Food Safety Livestock Brand Commission P. O. Box 1951 Baton Rouge, Louisiana 70821 Mike Strain DVM Commissioner Citizens of Louisiana: Louisiana’s livestock industry, valued at nearly $3 billion, contributes significantly to the state’s economy. Livestock producers face many challenges, like high input costs, unfavorable weather, an uncertain economy and an ever-changing regulatory environment. I understand these challenges and face them with you. As a practicing veterinarian, former state legislator and your Commissioner of Agriculture and Forestry, I believe our future is bright. Opportunities are great but we must lead the charge. If we take advantage of the latest advances in science and technology along with our abundant natural resources, infrastructure and proximity to major trade routes, Louisiana can grow agriculture and forestry into the future. The Louisiana Department of Agriculture and Forestry (LDAF) Livestock Brand Commission inspectors investigate all aspects of farm- related crimes in the state, including livestock thefts (cattle, equine, hogs, emus, ostriches, turtles, sheep, and exotics), farm machinery and equipment. The Commission plays a large role in protecting producer’s property. The brands listed in this book assist inspectors in identifying and tracking the movement of livestock in Louisiana.
