PRESENTATION OUTLINE

I believe in the future of agriculture,

with a faith born not of words

but of deeds

achievements won by the

present and past generations of agriculturists;

in the promise of better days through better ways,

even as the better things we now enjoy

have come to us from the struggles of former years.

I believe that to live and work on a good farm,

or to be engaged in other agricultural pursuits,

is pleasant as well as challenging;

for I know the joys

and discomforts of agricultural life

and hold an inborn fondness for those associations which,

even in hours of discouragement, I cannot deny.

I believe in leadership from ourselves

and respect from others.

I believe in my own ability to work efficiently

and think clearly, with such knowledge and skill as I can secure,

and in the ability of progressive agriculturists to serve our own

and the public interest in producing and marketing the product of our toil.

I believe in less dependence on begging

and more power in bargaining;

in the life abundant

and enough honest wealth to help make it so--

for others as well as myself;

in less need for charity and more of it when needed;

in being happy myself and playing square with those whose happiness depends upon me.

I believe that American agriculture can and will hold true to the best traditions of our national life

and that I can exert an influence in my home and community

which will stand solid for my part in that inspiring task.
