Dwight Eisenhower actually said...

I am tempted to talk for just a moment about the most important crop of all in this country: yourselves.

The farmer is not just a farmer, he is a citizen of the United States, first and always.

The prosperity of the agricultural community is absolutely necessary to the prosperity of the nation.

As a farm individual, you are first close to the soil and from the soil must come all the things by which we live.
