[Intro]
Shoutout E.M. Tiffany

[Verse 1]
I believe in the future of agriculture
With a faith born not of words but of deeds
Achievements won by the present and past generations of agriculturists
In the promise of better days through better ways
Even as the better things we now enjoy have come to us
From the struggles of former years (year, y-y-y-years)

[Verse 2]
I believe that to live and work on a good farm
Or to be engaged in other agricultural pursuits
Is pleasant as well as challenging; for I know the joys and
Discomforts of agricultural life
And hold an inborn fondness for those associations which
Even in hours of discouragement, I cannot deny (-ny, n-n-n-ny)

[Verse 3]
I believe in leadership from ourselves and respect from others
I believe in my own ability to work efficiently and think clearly
With such knowledge and skill as I can secure
And in the ability of progressive agriculturists
To serve our own and the public interest
In producing and marketing the product of our toil
[Verse 4]
I believe in less dependence on begging and more power in bargaining
In the life abundant and enough honest wealth to help make it so
For others as well as myself
In less need for charity and more of it when needed
In being happy myself and playing square
With those whose happiness depends upon me

[Verse 5]
I believe that American agriculture can and will hold true
To the best traditions of our national life and
That I can exert an influence in my home and community
Which will stand solid for my part in that inspiring task
