South Dakota governor and vice presidential candidate Kristi Noem has made a potentially irreversible political mistake.

“The important thing is not necessarily what farming life is like. The important thing is that as a politician, especially as someone who is trying to get into the election as a ‘do no harm’ type of candidate, no one “You have to realize that you don’t understand agriculture’s life,” he added.
