Reagan on Free Enterprise, America, and Environment

“The United States is blessed with abundant land, fertile soil, adequate water, and a favorable climate.”

October 14, 1981

“The United States is blessed with abundant land, fertile soil, adequate water, and a favorable climate. Upon this natural base, Americans have erected a sound system of agriculture, founded on the right of private property ownership, the opportunity to earn rewards for honest toil and investment, the freedom to exchange in the marketplace, the availability of essential credit, the application of new scientific discoveries and technologies, and the primacy of the independent family farm.”
