John says, "There was a time, not long ago, when the small family farm stood at the center of the community and people’s lives followed the unhurried rhythm of the seasons.  Hard work, self-reliance, and an appreciation of life’s simple pleasures were fundamental values.  I believe that, amid the frequent cynicism, incivility, and relativism of today’s hectic world, it is more important than ever for us to remember the best of these traditional values."
