"Agriculture is the very basis of civilization - the food we eat, the clothing we wear, the material of our homes and many of our traditions and values... All come from agriculture and collectively set the pace for our nation’s standard of living. As generations of Americans become more distant from their agrarian origins, fewer and fewer people understand agriculture’s importance to society. Yet increasingly, people with limited or no agricultural knowledge are determining agriculture policy."
