'My father asserted that there was no better place
to bring up a family than in a rural environment.
... There's something about getting up at 5 a.m.,
feeding the stock and chickens, and milking a couple
of cows before breakfast that gives you a lifelong
respect for the price of butter and eggs.' --William E. Vaughan

'There are only three things that can kill a farmer:
lightning, rolling over in a tractor, and old age.' -- Bill Bryson

'Farming looks mighty easy when your plow is a pencil
and you're a thousand miles from the corn.' --Dwight David Eisenhower
