Franklin Roosevelt actually said...

"The American dream of the family-size farm, owned by the family which operates it, has become more and more remote."

"A nationwide program under federal leadership and with the assistance of states, counties, communities and individuals is the only solution."

"Action to provide security is imperative, and will be generally approved."

"The agricultural ladder, on which an energetic young man might ascend from hired man to tenant to independent owner, is no longer serving its purpose."
