Michael Baumli is a hard-working rural progressive Missourian running for State Senate – District 12. Raised right here in the state, this Missourian comes from generations of farming hogs, cattle, soybeans, and corn. His youth consisted of raking hay on a Allis D-15, Grinding hog feed on an 856 International, scooping hog manure off of a 1000 head hog confinement, and occasionally challenging an angry sow that wasn’t ready to be weaned. On the farm, he learned the value of a work ethic that just because the sun goes down, the day isn’t over.
