* When Vilsack created the Iowa Values Fund, his first poster child of economic
development potential was Trans Ova and their pursuit of cloning dairy cows.
* Vilsack was the origin of the seed pre-emption bill in 2005, which many people
here in Iowa fought because it took away local government's possibility of ever
having a regulation on seeds- where GE would be grown, having GE-free buffers,
banning pharma corn locally, etc.
