Fred KowalHOST
Blake Jendabiane is a North Country dairy farmer, which means he knows what it's like to put in a full day's work.
Fred KowalHOST
Jendabiane owns Twin Mill Farm, an 1,100-acre dairy farm in Lisbon, St. Lawrence County, that he purchased with his wife Carmen in 2003.
Fred KowalHOST
He merged the farm with his family's farm, which his parents bought back in 1972.
Fred KowalHOST
His father, Peter, still works on the farm with Blake, who runs the business.
Fred KowalHOST
When the need arises, Blake heads to the barn or the fields to work shoulder to shoulder with a team of 12 full-time employees hired to work the farm, which also grows corn, soybeans, and alfalfa.
Fred KowalHOST
Now, the 49-year-old farmer wants to take his North Country work ethic to Washington, DC.
Fred KowalHOST
Jendabiane, a Democrat, is running for Congress in the ruby red 21st Congressional District, where Republicans hold an 81,000 voter enrollment advantage.
