I don't know how to post a link. Hopefully someone will for me. Tractorcade on Agweb. It was before my time but a very touching story. Amazing how Americans stand together for whats in their hearts.
I gave a speech about it in 1976 at our state FFA convention. The Secretary of Agriculture at the time was Earl Butz (don't ask me how I still remember that). But to be clear, the crisis was there long before Carter took office it had been going on for a while just like it is now.I remember that movement. Participated in the one in my county. Ag product prices were low. Inputs high. Inflation high. Jimmy Carter was president. He was focused on an agreement with Anwar Sadat, the man in Egypt while the ag community was in distress. History repeats itself.
