• En los últimos 40 años, Estados Unidos ha perdido más de un millón de agricultores y ganaderos. Muchos de nuestros agricultores están envejeciendo.

• People don't understand rural America. Sixteen percent of our population is rural, but 40 percent of our military is rural. I don't believe that's because of a lack of opportunity in rural America. I believe that's because if you grow up in rural America, you know you can't just keep taking from the land. You've got to give something back.

Es decir, 1,2 millones de familias que viven en casas en zonas rurales de Estados Unidos y que nunca habrían sido propietarias de no ser por los programas del Departamento de Agricultura.
