Farmer

A good farmer is nothing more nor less than a handyman with a sense of humus,

Agriculture is civilization,

My father was a farmer and my mother was a farmer, but, my childhood was very good,

I am very grateful for my childhood because it was full of gladness and good humanity,

I always wanted to be a farmer,

There is a tradition of that in my family.

If the rain spoils our picnic but saves a farmer’s crop, who are we to say it shouldn’t rain?

Agrarian reform should not merely subdivide misery,

It must raise living standards,

Ownership raises the farmer from his,

But productivity will keep him on his feet.

I’ve always said I want a farmer, not a hunter,

Hunters go for the kill and they move on, A farmer nurtures; he watches things grow,

My dream is to become a farmer,

Just a Bohemian guy pulling up his own sweet potatoes for dinner,

As the Republican platform says, the welfare of the farmer is vital to that of the whole country.

The soil is the great connector of lives, the source and destination of all,

It is the healer and restorer and resurrector,

By which disease passes into health, age into youth, death into life,

Without proper care for it, we can have no community because,

Without proper care for it, we can have no life.

I inherited that calm from my father, who was a farmer,

You sow, you wait for good or bad weather,

You harvest, but working is something you always need to do,

I think having land and not ruining it is the most beautiful art that anybody could ever want to own,

If a farmer fills his barn with grain, he gets mice,

If he leaves it empty, he gets actors.

Farmers only worry during the growing season,

But town people worry all the time,

We’re still here trying to get the word out that 330 farmers are quitting every week.

Agriculture was the first occupation of man,

And as it embraces the whole earth,

It is the foundation of all other industries,

Agricultural life is one eminently calculated for human happiness and human virtue,

The cows make me smile every day.

The first farmer was the first man,

And all historic nobility rests on possession and use of land,

Our farmers deserve praise, not condemnation,

And their efficiency should because for gratitude,

Not something for which they are penalized,

In undertaking farming, we undertake a responsibility covering the whole life cycle,

We can break it or keep it whole.

Agriculture for an honourable and high-minded man,

is the best of all occupations and arts by which men procure the means of living,

Agriculture seems to be the first pursuit of civilized man,

Farming is a profession of hope.
