Reagan on America

“So in many ways, we look to agriculture not just for sustenance of the body, but also to prove to ourselves that our ideals are still alive.”

March 21, 1983

“Well, here in the United States where new dimensions have been added to the word 'liberty,' the Jeffersonian vision of free men working their own land is still rooted in our consciousness. So in many ways, we look to agriculture not just for sustenance of the body, but also to prove to ourselves that our ideals are still alive.”
