As we have heard from our Governor there is alot of interest in the Ag. Commissioner position. Roger Johnson's last day as Ag Commissioner is April 3rd. Nick Goulet an eighth grader at Wachter Middle School is getting Johnson's job-at least for today. Nick's winning essay on the benefits of renewable fuels won him the position as North Dakota's Honorary Ag. Commissioner for the day. More than 130 essays were submitted. Johnson says in all the years of the contest Nick's is one of the best he's read. Nick focused on what renewable energy can do for our state and our future. (Nick Goulet / ND Honorary Ag. Commissioner) andamp;quot;We were suppose to research on how they would help our economy and consumers and in the future it can help us alot with jobs and over time it will be cheaper than our fossil fuels.andamp;quot; Nick received a $150 savings bond from the North Dakota bankers association. He also met with the Ag Department Staff and was Johnson's guest for lunch.  « Less
