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 agriculturalists

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 inspriring task.
