Kerry also told the audience that "this kid from the East" had an aunt and uncle who lived on a dairy farm that he visited often when he was young. He also claimed that "one of his greatest joys in life" as a 12-year-old was plowing fields on his their John Deere tractor.
"I learned my first cuss word sitting on a tractor from the guy who was driving it," he said as the crowd chuckled. "And I learned as a kid what it was like to look in back of me, and see those rows, and see that pattern, and feel the sense of accomplishment. And end up dusty and dirty, tired but feeling great."
