Transcription

Today, agriculture in this country is not appreciated the way it should be, simply because only 4% of the people of America actually live and work on the farms and ranches. Fortunately, I was one of those who grew up with a soil under my feet and between my toes, and I know what it gives you. I know what it means to your feeling of security, to your self-confidence. I know what it means to the serenity that it provides you. You see the mysteries of life really unveiled before your eyes with the planting of the crops. You see the seeds sprout. You see the crops grow. You see them bloom. You see them produce the fruits, and you see them begin to wither and die. You see life cycle, and you know that you're witnessing. One of the... One of the great mysteries of life in addition to all the means by which men and women survive in this world.
