This little piggie doesn't know it, but he's 

 going to stick around awhile to grow and 

 fatten up. A potential pork chop this size 

 may be small potatoes now . . . and yet 

 he's a part of a $100 billion investment. 



Few people realize the size of agricul- 

 ture — the mammoth investment that 

 totals 100 BILLION DOLLARS! It's made

up of small things like newborn livestock, 

 big things like powerful farm machinery, 

 land and buildings. For the first time in 

 more than a generation, the farmer is fi- 

 nancially in a position to take advantage 

 of the wonderful, progressive practices 

 developed in recent years. 



Your Farm Bureau membership has 

 made many of these advances available 

 to you. It has pointed out the advantages 

 of erosion-control, cooperative practices 

 of marketing and buying, given you and 

 other farmers a strong voice in molding 

 favorable farming legislation. 



Your investment is great. Protect it 

 through your Farm Bureau activities.
