Mission Statement: We believe a man's greatest possession is his dignity and that no calling bestows this more abundantly than farming. We believe hard work and honest sweat are the building blocks of a person's character. We believe farming, despite it's hardships and disappointments, is the most honest and honourable way a man can spend his days on this earth. We believe farming nurtures the close family ties that make life rich in ways that money cannot buy. We believe our children learn the values that will last a lifetime and cannot be learned in any other way. We believe farming provides education for life and no other occupation teaches so much about birth, growth and maturity in such a variety of ways. We believe many of the best things in life are free, the splendour of the sunlight, the rapture of the wide open spaces and exhilarating sight of seeing your land greening, and your animals reproducing each spring. We believe happiness comes from watching your crops ripen in the field, your children grow tall in the sun, your whole family feels the pride that comes from the shared experience. We believe that by my toil we are giving more to this world than we are taking from it, an honour that does not come to all men. We believe that our life will be measured ultimately by what we have done for our fellow man and by this standard we fear no judgement. We believe that when a man grows old and sums up his days, he should be able to stand tall and feel pride in the life he has lived. We believe that despite the uselessness of European Agricutural Politic, farmers will retain their dignity and pride in their vocation. |
