The Farmer’s Creed

I believe a person’s greatest possession is their dignity and that no
calling bestows this more abundantly than farming.

I believe 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 honest and honorable way a person can spend their days on this earth.

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 free: the splendor of a
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
and your children grow tall in the sun.

I believe my life will be measured ultimately by what I have done for my
fellow man.

I believe in farming because it makes all this possible.
