McElligott spoke of the importance of all people involved in wheat production and said that politicians say that three percent of the population produces the food for the United States, and that figure is incorrect, he stated, be cause it would be impossible to produce the food without all of the people who help. "This land has been farmed for 100 years. There's no reason it can't go on for another thousand if we'll take care of it." said McElligott. He also said the task of the farmers is to preserve the land, because the farmers will pass on some day and the people after them deserve it.
