Agriculture and Politics in the 1980's

Abstract

I am convinced that we stand on the threshold of a chance to do that, if we just turn ourselves loose; if we keep the profit incentive unfettered; if we get over the concept that there is something evil about making a profit in the food business. I am convinced that, if we can do these things, hence, some historian will look back on those of us who sit in this room today, and on the work that we will do in the next decade, and say that we did indeed make it possible for mankind to beat her swords into plow shares and her spears into pruning hooks.
