    I am sure everyone else has the same idea, and are getting all of their friends/family/acquaintances to vote like this, which only backs up the statement that online voting like this is a bit ridiculous.

    I agree completely. I discussed this at length with the contest board before the decision was made to do it this way. It makes everyone involved look stupid. Here I am going around asking people to vote for me. I feel like a fool and it questions the integrity of our farm, which we use as a teaching tool and as a business.

    On the flipside, we have generated 2500 votes which is incredible word of mouth advertising. Hopefully some of this pandering will turn into profit. It is all about networking really. After Obama visited our farm in April 2009 we saw a huge increase locally in the interest level of organic food, the farmers market, and our business.

    But still, this vote thing sucks!

    Thanks again! 15 minutes left and we are 30 votes ahead.

    IF anyone is still up they can vote a second time with a different email on their smartphone with wifi turned off!

    Please help. And thanks so much!

    We won by three votes! Thanks guys.

    I am so sorry to spam the board with this contest. It is fish related but annoying nonetheless.
