PROPOSED RADIO MESSAGE
FOR USDA's NATIONAL AGRICULTURE DAY
(60 seconds)
We Americans are blessed with abundance. We enjoy vast
resources. And we have people who can turn those resources into
fabulous bounties. On the first day of Spring we celebrate National
Agriculture Day and we honor the farmers who turn hard soil into
splendid harvests.
America's farmers have astounded the world with their
productivity. Today, the average American farm family produces
enough food to feed 94 people in this country and 34 people abroad.
This is not an easy task. Today's farmer must be an expert in
international markets, computers, machinery, biology and chemistry.
But technology hasn't changed everything. Farmers still must
rise before the sun to tend their crops and livestock. They still
must protect the soil, lakes and rivers upon which all life
depends. And they still must thrive in the most competitive
industry on earth.
So please join me on this National Agriculture Day and thank
our farmers for the miracles they work each and every day.
Thank you, and may God bless this great country.
