UPDATE: Minton confirms that he opened a campaign account Monday. From a longtime cirtus and cattle family, Minton says he has a lifetime of experience on agriculture issues and developed a consumer expertise in the legislature. "My whole life has been about reaching that goal,'' Minton said of the job.

That's the Buzz, that the former Democratic legislator from Fort Pierce will run for commissioner of agriculture.
