2. Theodore Roosevelts Country Life Commission
and Community Sustainability 1909-2009
Purpose
Not to help farmers raise better crops, but to call his attention
to the opportunities for better business and better living on the
farm. If the country life is to become what it should be, and what
I believe it ultimately will beone of the most dignified,
desirable, and sought-after ways of earning a livingthe farmer must
take advantage not only of the agricultural knowledge which is at
his disposal, but of the methods which have raised and continue to
raise the standards of living and of intelligence in other
callings.
