Each year, as every farmer knows, there is c# rebirth on the farm. The first
furrows plowed, the first pigs farrowed, the first wheat sprung. In this
renewal lies a rich replenishment of the spirit. It is known only to men rind
women who have dedicated themselves to the land. To them we pay our
compliments . and trust that the years ahead will enlarge and enhance
their sense of fulfillment.
