Gloria Swanson quote: "The day I initiated divorce proceedings against Michael..."
The day I initiated divorce proceedings against Michael Farmer, I was ready to retire to a desert cave and rethink my life. Gloria Swanson
On this National Agriculture Day, when we all should be taking time to thank and pay tribute to America's farmers, ranchers and their families who produce the food for our tables, we are finding those same people in dire need of our help and support. Michael McCaul
There are a lot of farmers and ranchers who are struggling. I get on my knees every day. If I had a rain prayer or a rain dance I could do, I would do it. Thomas Vilsack
O. Henry quote: "It brings up happy old days when I was only a farmer and not..."
It brings up happy old days when I was only a farmer and not an agriculturist. O. Henry
Iowa is home to teachers, farmers, lawyers, factory workers, and many others who work hard every day to provide the best for their families and their future. Leonard Boswell
