[PacRatt]

I am tyring to find a video of a news article of Al Gore in the 1996 Presidential Campaign telling Students from a FFA Group {Future Farmers of America} that they need to find a new career due to upcoming U.S. polocies shifting farming to overseas locations / countries.

Can anyone help?

Here is a lead for you to follow:

Al Gore also said this: Published in the Ag Journal, Billings, Montana:

"At a recent ceremony at the White House, Vice President and presidential candidate Al Gore let slip what many have long believed was his real intention as regards to U.S. agriculture.

"While presenting a national award to a Colorado FFA member, Gore asked the student what his/her life plans were. Upon hearing that the FFA member wanted to continue on in production agriculture, Gore reportedly replied that the young person should develop other plans because our production agriculture is being shifted out of the U.S. to the Third World." (My extension agent was a first hand witness to this comment by Gore.)
