Secretary Vilsack on Steve Jobs, Innovators and Entrepreneurs: At our Best When Fearless


Published:
October 6, 2011

“I think Steve Jobs and all the innovators and entrepreneurs of this country have been fearless and that’s when we operate at our best. I happen to be working in a field right now with the American farmer and rancher, who is fearless. They put a crop in the ground every day and we’re having a record year in agriculture. It’s part of a story that’s not told very often in the economy.  Trade surpluses,  job growth, record income levels. Because American agriculture takes a risk every day."

-- Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack, asked about the death of Steve Jobs, on this morning's "Morning Joe" on MSNBC
