"Farming is a profession of hope; every seed placed in the soil is a declaration of faith in tomorrow." "The ultimate goal of farming is not the growing of crops, but the cultivation and perfection of human character." "Soil is the great connector of lives, the source and destination of all." On Hard Work and Resilience "The farmer is the only man in our economy who buys everything at retail, sells everything at wholesale, and pays the freight both ways—yet keeps going." "Agriculture is our wisest pursuit, because it will in the end contribute most to real wealth, good morals, and happiness." "Sow effort, tend to patience, and you will reap success no matter how tough the season." Short & Powerful Reminders "No rain, no grain; no grit, no growth." "Planted in purpose, rooted in strength." "Feed the soil, feed the soul, feed the world."
