My dad was a proverb

 My dad was a poor farmer. We grew up around it.

 I'm scared to death of being poor. It's like a fat girl who loses 500 pounds but is always fat inside. I grew up poor and will always feel poor inside. It's my pet paranoia.

 Several of us believe that when consumers attend a farmers market they want to know that the farmer grew the items that were for sale.

 I grew up in a poor family and I remember the day I figured out I was poor,

 I am a poor farmer and I?m being financially assisted by my family, friends and supporters. The support has been overwhelming so far.

 My grandparents on my mother's side owned a farm, and I grew up on the farm. If it wasn't for an opportunity to get an athletic scholarship ... to pay for my education, to this very day, I would be a farmer up in Pennsylvania with my cousins.

 Domestic animals revolutionized land transport. They also revolutionized agriculture, by letting one farmer plough and manure much more land than the farmer could till or manure by the farmer's own efforts.

 I’ve always said I want a farmer, not a hunter. Hunters go for the kill and they move on. A farmer nurtures; he watches things grow.

 The growth has really been with the farmer-owned plants, but we're going to see some non-farmer entities get back into it big.

 There were still times I was nervous. Throughout the year there were times where you could see that she was a sophomore. But I thought she stepped up to the plate really well. Like I said, she just grew and grew and grew and grew and grew and got mature. Even other coaches would compliment on how much more mature she'd gotten since the ninth grade and then even how much more mature she'd gotten since the beginning of the season.

 It was a way a farmer could turn his corn into money. You couldn't always sell corn because everybody grew it, but you could always sell whiskey.

 Every time you cut programs, you take away a person who has a vested interest in high taxes and you put him on the tax rolls and make him a taxpayer. A farmer on subsidies is part welfare bum, whereas a free-market farmer is a small businessman with a gun.

 I don't think I can tell any stories about how I lived in a van in Alaska. I grew up in the suburbs, I even had my own room. We weren't poor. Everything was very normal.

 The farmer in Central City, Nebraska, is feeling the impact of this. The farmer in Hope County, Iowa, is feeling this,

 The farmer has to be an optimist or he wouldn't still be a farmer.
  Will Rogers
