He also discussed challenges to the agriculture industry and system\u00adic global issues, calling on the federal government to reevaluated programs aiding foreign nations.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Luttrell\u2019s internal and external ad\u00addresses lasted about 35 minutes each.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">During that time, he told the group that improvements in agricultural sci\u00adence and technology are necessities for farmers who must assume these critical leadership roles thought out the world.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cScience, not fear, nostalgia, or poli\u00adtics must be the cornerstone of the fu\u00adture,\u201d he said related to the Grange\u2019s continued support of genetic modifi\u00adcation, new chemicals and pharmaceu\u00adticals.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Also a hinderance to the agriculture community is overregulation such as the Waters of the U.S. and EPA regula\u00adtions related to coal-fired power plants, according to Luttrell.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cThe Grange calls upon our elected officials at all levels to begin reducing the flood of government regulation be\u00adfore it drowns American entrepreneurs and business owners,\u201d Luttrell said.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Infringements on personal rights and liberties also drew empassioned discussion from Luttrell who said free speech, public displays of religion and the rights of citizens to bear arms shouldn\u2019t be questioned thanks to our founding document, the Constitution.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cWe must not stray, as this grand document gives every American the right to follow their own dreams, seek their fortune and live their life by the principles of their individual faith,\u201d Lu\u00adttrell said.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Later in the speech, Luttrell spoke of continuous threats to America and the many challenges of the modern world. When speaking of the re-evaluation of aid to foreign nations, he said, \u201cWe must ensure that we help the people, not empower and enrich the dictators and warlords. We must demonstrate and teach the power of liberty to en\u00adable their people, not tell them what to do.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Luttrell, for the past several years, has also focused heavily on the Grange\u2019s interest in public ed\u00aducation, especially that related to agriculture and STEM fields.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cThe Grange urges educators at the primary, secondary and undergraduate levels to include basic knowledge of ag\u00adriculture in their curriculum,\u201d Luttrell said. \u201cEvery American needs to understand that nature\u2019s laws are constant and im\u00admutable. The lesson that there is no free lunch, but there are limitless opportunities, must be part of education in today\u2019s world.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">During his internal address, he talked about trademark is\u00adsues and how we are dealing with the California situation and how these affect our budget. He urged every member to read the Declaration of Purposes and then reflect upon the prin\u00adciples that are enshrined in that document.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Luttrell pointed out the every member should be proud of the rich history of the Grange as we are only two years away from the 150th Session of the National Grange to be held in the D.C. area in 2016. He challenged every member to not only celebrate our history, but face the challenges of today with an understanding of the legacy passed to us.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cWe must always look forward into the future while re\u00admembering the lessons of the past,\u201d Luttrell said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>During his sixth address to the mem\u00adbers and public, National Master Ed Luttrell on Tuesday directly after the opening of the 148th Annual National Grange Convention focused heavily on overreach by government, such as un\u00adnecessary and often detrimental regu\u00adlations as well as threats to personal freedoms.
