Navy Seal Commander Rorke Denver, author of “Damn Few,” drew a connection between agricultural and military warriors in his keynote address before the 96th annual American Farm Bureau convention in San Diego.
“When people are hungry, they go to war,” said Denver. “So, here’s the deal, if you do your job, I don’t have to do my job.
Denver says another connection between farmers and the military is that “everybody tries to tell us how to do our job, very few of whom actually do the job.”
The Navy Seal gave an entertaining and somewhat sobering look at the training involved to become a Seal and concluded by saying that when he travels in uniform he is frequently thanked for his service to our country, so he took the opportunity to sincerely thank farmers and ranchers for what they do.
