POTUS: When President Joe Biden got behind the microphone in Jeff O’Connor’s Kankakee, Ill., farm shop, he was quick to point out his agricultural credentials. “Everybody looks at me and says, ‘Have you ever been on a farm?’ And I remind them that I come from the state of Delaware. The single-largest industry in Delaware and the Delmarva Peninsula is agriculture. It’s a $4 billion industry, and we have more chickens than there are Americans. If I didn’t know something about farms, I’d have been a United States senator for six years, not 36 years.”
