Slater: Perry tries to make up with farmers, while White reminds them why they're mad

SAN MARCOS, Texas — Clearly, Rick Perry had some fences to mend with the farmers.
In the Republican primary, the Texas Farm Bureau endorsed Kay Bailey Hutchison over the incumbent governor because of his land-consuming Trans-Texas Corridor project and his 2007 veto of an eminent domain bill favored by farmers but opposed by business.
It didn’t help that the Perry campaign dismissed the Farm Bureau as “an insurance company that supported the [federal bank] bailout.”
