You cannot have a happy, healthy and peaceful continent without food.

I’m an adventurer, looking for treasure.

People are capable, at any time in their lives, of doing what they dream of.

It’s the possibility of having a dream come true that makes life interesting.

And, when you want something, all the universe conspires in helping you to achieve it.

It’s the simple things in life that are the most extraordinary; only wise men are able to understand them.

Every blessing ignored becomes a curse.

Farming is not just a job. It's a responsibility and a privilege.

Cultivators are the most valuable citizens… they are tied to their country.

It feels good at the end of the day to know you made a product that other people are going to enjoy.

My favorite thing about being a farmer is the work ethic. It's in you. You really learn how to work hard and it sticks with you.

Winners are not those who never fail, but those who never quit.

Agriculture was the first occupation of man, and as it embraces the whole earth, it is the foundation of all other industries.

To be a farmer is to be a student forever, for each day brings something new.

The discovery of agriculture was the first big step toward a civilized life.

One of the most delightful things about a garden is the anticipation it provides.

There’s no feeling in the world like being in a combine at sunset, knowing we’re part of the process that feeds people all over the world.

There is no other community as connected as those in agriculture.

Farming isn’t something that can be taught. Each plant tells its own story that has to be read repeatedly.
