This folder contains the accompanying notes for a speech by David S. Weaver titled "Give Us This Day Our Daily Bread," subtitled "Underdeveloped Nations Will Always Be Underdeveloped until they learn how to get an adequate supply of high-quality, low cost food with a small labor force." It gives a history of agriculture from its birth in prehistoric times to America’s shift from a rural, agricultural life to urbanization. This historical context leads to suggestions on how to improve farmers’ status and recognition.
