You will find that farmers have been pro-Republican for a long, long, time..
This is because the Republican Party has always been in favor of farm
subsidies (paying farmers not to grow certain crops). A quick scan of
farmer-oriented states, especially southern farmer-oriented states (i.e.
Alabama, Georgia, Mississippi, etc.) and alot of the northern
farmer-oriented states (i.e. Wyoming, Iowa, Idaho, etc.) have voted the
Republican ticket. The only exceptions to this "rule" have been
"favorite-son" states where a local resident (with a strong political
history) is running for office (i.e. Hubert Humpherey of Minnesota in the
1968 Primary and General Elections and Harkin of Iowa in the 1992 Primary).
Heck, Gore didn't even carry Tennessee in 2000. I can't recall the last
time the majority of farming states supported a Democratic candidate.

Actually, Farmers use to be pro-Democrat. However, Democrats have been
turning more toward environmential protection to gain inner-city votes
hurting farmers and also more socially liberal. These two factors turned
Farmers away from the Democrats. Farmers were considered a main base of the
Democrats up until about the 1980's. They still are in places like Iowa.
