Jimmy Carter actually said...

"Our people respect the American farmer."

"The family farm has preserved the values—honesty, dependability, hard work and faith—which we need to rediscover as a nation."

"I haven't met a small farmer who wants to be on welfare or guaranteed a profit without work, but we should take away his chains."

"Nobody who's spent as much time on a farm as I have wants the government to manage our farms."
