we set up were successful and if every county in United States had done exactly that there would have been nothing that could have stood against us do you know that nothing we would have had our contracts but maybe it's a blessing in skies we didn't because we didn't have the programs we didn't have the technology and all that maybe to make it work so we maybe would have been in great trouble however I want to bring up a little bit later on to show you how important and how close what we can do in the days ahead but I think the toughest thing that I ever faced and I'm sure there's many of you in this crowd that faced exactly the same thing that I did when I got that fateful call from the Home Office to be in Bemidji Minnesota national director is going to be there and I said glory we're going to we've won now they're gonna tell us where to go with those big elephants and those big steers when he got there that night before I went called on a Minuteman system said being him a long haul I'll be there at 12 o'clock tonight to give you the good news and for them to wait for me and they went and that place was packed with 400 and some people in that hall they got to be made you in a director or spin irva he said fellows he said people started to sell the holding action is broke it's recessed now I was going back there to face those people think of the thoughts that went through your mind when you went back to tell those people those of you too went back to tell your people think of the things that went through your mind and when it came in the back door and they knew I was coming in to turn around you would think the Savior with walking in their faces or shining they were expecting this glorious news that went up in front they looked at those people I said they started to sell the holding actions broke the recessed men's tears started running down her face women were crying they lost it was casualties but it was necessary and so we had to organize more didn't we 1967 the most successful holding action his organization ever had and one that won but the big arm of the government was not going to let you in i remember Nikken county minnesota over mr. Johnson's farm by a job at that time whole eggs go to kind of keep keep the faith baby you know many of you did the same thing keep holding her hands mr. Johnson said to me that he had a thousand gallon bulk tank and he said you know what I was a toughest thing I ever did he said as I watched that tank it fully that I knew I was going to have to dump that milk they said I I couldn't do it he said I called some neighbors together and he said we went in a well house we stood a milk house - we stood around that bulk tank he said and he said I reached down for that spigot and I was gonna turn T that I couldn't turn it and it's I stood up he said now what done again is I reached down for that turned I start seeing a milk started to run they said not turned it all away and he said I was free he's after that he said I look forward to going out there and opening that cockpit and stick it that's what's made this organization and a character and a type of people in the fiber remember when they said if we get the right people in government we will get this job done we had Johnson and ER who there who was the right person according to Farmers Union and I'm a farmer's union member too they had Humphrey who was a champion of farmers and how many of you remember our good man from Minnesota Orville Freeman that understood the farmer he could feel the soil in his hands he was sector of Agriculture and we had that holding action one and they didn't even wait until the served injunction on us they leaked it to the noose video and when that hit all the papers that broke their hearts in it what about these farmers that murdered those hogs that took those innocent hogs and shot him and those innocent calves and shot him killed him and buried them what kind of people do things like that people they'll throw the milk out I remember run the trucks milk trucks and tanks I'm not talking tanks of guns oh no I'm talking about milk tanks and on a given signal all throw that milk and cream and stuff out and the businessmen stood there was shocked and whoring their eyes but what did it do they realized that something had to be wrong to make rational people do things like that there was a reason a meeting that we had that I had in Washington news media was their newspapers it was not nfo that put it together about people they were there to embarrass the nfo in a 1968 holding action the reason I want to use disses it's because it shows you the mentality and why people think like to do they wanted to find out what kind of a man would be out there organizing people there's out there directing people to murder hogs because it was in the paper at that time wasn't it they were murdering hogs they were murdering calves to us say the words they used people why did he use that type words to incite the people against a group that would go to those links I can still see that crowd as they were going to bring those questions out and just as i exceeded the anger of raising the faith i stopped a minute and i said what kind of people will murder innocent hogs what type of people will kill innocent calves why are you doing it I told my said I volunteered in World War one because I believed we needed to save this great democracy we've got right now the Korean War the Vietnam War going and I got two sons that are going to have to go in there but I don't feel the same way about that war as I did World War two why are those boys that are coming back from Vietnam who have their parts of their heads shut off their limbs their vegetables for the rest their lives why don't we see something exciting exciting the people against that type of a thing they're worried about a few hogs but you hear nothing about those human beings that are being slaughtered I'll tell you why they believe they're out there to preserve this great democracy that's what they tell me now these farmers that are burying those hogs are shooting those hogs those calves are doing it because they believe that the preserving the democracy of this great nation but what disturbed me was that I didn't see any concern for those boys that come back in that shape but only concern for those hogs what did that remind me of what does it remind you of takes you back into the scripture doesn't it do you remember that when Jesus came to the tomb and it was this demon-possessed man who was tearing change and bleeding and he commanded the demons to come out of him and a man was set free and then the demon said led us into this hogs there are a couple of thousand hogs out there in a hillside and the LORD commanded the demons to go into the Hogs and the Hogs ran into the lake and drowned you never seen even in the scripture that they rejoiced that the man was set free but the drove Jesus out of the country because they lost a few hogs do you see the parallel do you understand the parallel it's a moral issue now these things that we have gone through have been necessary and we can experience from it and today we have a system set together you've heard it and it's almost become words but people it's real you have a hog program of cattle program of grain program milk program and you have now what the ReadySet thing in the green and is reserved thing that if you can catch the imagination of like we did with the Minuteman system you can catch the imagination and contact the people we can turn this green thing around this year without a doubt in my mind it's real I'm all out of time I'm five minutes over god bless you and have been good talking to you Thank You Branagh
