I believe a man's greatest possession is his dignity and that no calling bestows
this more abundantly than farming.

I believe that hard work and honest sweat are the building blocks of a person's
character.

I believe that farming, despite its hardships and disappointments, is the most
honourable way a man can spend his days on earth.

I believe that farming nurtures the close family ties that make life rich in ways
money can't buy.

I believe that children are learning values that will last a lifetime and can
be learned in no other way.

I believe farming provides education for life and that no other occupation
teaches so much about birth, growth and maturity in such a variety of ways.

I believe many of the best things in life are indeed free: the splendor at
sunrise, the rapture of wide-open spaces, the exhilarating sight of your land
greening each spring.

I believe true happiness comes from watching your crops ripen in the field,
your children growing tall in the sun; your whole family feels the pride that
springs from their shared experience.

I believe that by toil, I am giving more to the world than I am taking from it, an
honour that does not come to all men.

I believe my life will be measured ultimately by what I have done for my
fellowman, and by this standard, I fear no judgement.

I believe when a man grows old and sums up his days, he should be
able to stand tall and feel pride in the life he's lived.

I believe in farming because it makes all this possible.
