This is the one that I have picked...... at least for the moment:

" Farming looks mighty easy when your plow is a pencil and you're a thousand miles from the cornfield.
-- Dwight D. Eisenhower"

Too many bigwigs promising things that they know little to nothing about!!! My dad farmed, and he always got so upset about federal guidelines for farmers that made no sense to man in the field.

[Laurie in Bradenton]

I always think of this quote when I think about our government,
" I may not like what you have to say but I'll lay down my life for your right to say it."

-- Edward R. Murrow

I like both these quotes.
The one on farming rings so true. It is so much easy to think you know how to do something rather do it. Farmers are not only one that have to deal with thoughtful, but misguided regulations.
The one from Murrow is just so true. A politician has to watch his words, but they will come back to haunt them. This especially true in today's society.
