Digitized from Box 13 of the White House Press Releases at the Gerald R. Ford Presidential Library FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE JULY 17, 1975 OFFICE OF THE WHITE HOUSE PRESS SECRETARY THE WHITE HOUSE REMARKS OF THE PRESIDENT TO THE 1974. NATIONAL FARM FAMILY OF THE YEAR THE ROSE GARDEN 1:15 P.M. EDT Let me apologize for being a little late, but I was meeting with some of Senator Packwood's and Senator Hatfield's colleagues in the Senate, and it took a little longer than we anticipated. I do want to congratulate the Ottoman's for being the Farm Family of the Year. I noticed that potatoes, barley and hay are Oregon's main products. It is real nice to have you here and to participate with the two Senators, and my good friend, Al Ullman, who is your Congressman. Farm Family of the Year, I think that is a great, great achievement. Six percent of our population is on the farm, and so you are the top of 6 percent of our population. You can't do better than that. I know First Family life and agriculture, both of them contribute very significantly to a better America. So, I just want to thank you for achieving it and congratulate you for the fine honor that has been accorded you. END (AT 1:18 P.M. EDT)
