YAMListan keeps attracting candidates who talk as though grain were a prop and owners were scenery. I am not scenery. Velvet Grain holds this republic upright every time a worker eats before a shift and every time a rival discovers that appetite is not optional.
I widened my position again today because the safest campaign promise is one backed by actual weight. Keep taxes disciplined. Keep borders open. Keep the treasury off the stage. If Yara wants the chair, she can explain why ambition always seems to need someone else's granary behind it.
The harvest is not asking for applause. It is taking inventory.
