Urging support for
American ideals, Wenger
warned that the current
trends in society and
government are placing
individual freedoms and
business opportunities m
jeopardy.
Praising agriculturalists,
and particularly farmers, he
said “farmers the world
over have done more good
than all of the social do
gooders put together.” He
praised agriculture not only
for its moral strengths, but
also for the contributions to
the general econmoy,
notably exports. Aside from
that, Wenger also noted that
fanners spend $5O billion
annually. “Nobody else
contributes so much and yet
asks for so little,” the
politician affirmed.
“Farming is still the
backbone of the U.S.
economy, despite the fact
that we are an industrial
nation,” the speaker con
tinued. Expressing op
timism for the future of
farming, Wenger noted that
a shift in “centers of in
fluence” is taking place.
“The shift is to areas of
natural resources,” he
explained.
“I’m optimistic for
agriculture if we seize our
opportunities,” Wenger
continued. He noted that
America has the richest food
producing areas m the world
and a terrific potential is yet
to be tapped. “What an

But despite the op

that if they’re to be seized,
Americans must continue to
hold their values and ideals
dear. He made it clear that
he is disturbed by statistical
findings, such as the poor
