"The Farmers Union Way"
by
Jeff Kirkpatrick, President Nebraska Farmers Union Foundation

Just as dying plants and leaves enrich the soil and rebuild its fertility, the strength of Farmers Union rests on those who have come before. It was their planning and work and unity which created Farmers Union, and defended family farmers for generations. They built coops, educated their youth and their neighbors, worked for a good farm policy, and enjoyed the fellowship of their fellow members. They made an indelible mark on our generation and our nation and as long as we carry on their work, they live on.
