John Barrasso was named to replace the late Senator Craig Thomas from Wyoming.  The Wyoming State Republican Committee made sure their nominee, appointed by Dem Gov Freudenthal, was right on ag issues.  

Barrasso said today he disagreed with the USDA decision to allow more Canadian cattle imports in light of bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE) risks.  He also has vowed to fight for mandatory country of origin labeling.  A good first start.

Senator Enzi from Wyoming has also been right on these issues, by the way.
