Political Quotes

“Madam Speaker, I rise today to celebrate National FFA Week. FFA is a national leader in agricultural education, inspiring our Nation's young people to pursue careers that help support a robust rural economy. Agriculture is rooted in American heritage, and our Nation's producers provide the food, the fiber, and the energy that we all depend on. Agriculture is science. It is technology. It is innovation. And the young men and women of the FFA are helping to shape the industry's future. Every time I see a distinctive blue FFA jacket, I am reminded of the strong character and impressive leadership abilities that come along with it. FFA leaders have gone on to become Ivy League graduates, Federal court judges, innovative farmers, famous performance artists, and even U.S. Presidents. This week, we celebrate the important success of FFA, and we look forward to what FFA leaders have in store for the future of rural America. ____________________”
