Charles Norwood: “I hope he has seen a peanut plant since last year, because last year…”

On the recordJune 23, 1998

I hope he has seen a peanut plant since last year, because last year he had never seen one. Since then, since the gentleman has tried to give the children of Georgia powdered milk today, now they want us to buy Chinese peanuts. They are talking about 16,000 farmers in this country who are God-fearing, church-going, hard-working, taxpaying people and he needs to get off their backs and not be so greedy for the candy manufacturers. Mr. Chairman, if people like strawberries from Mexico, they are going to love Chinese peanuts.
