00:00They're roughly 17 weeks old.

00:02Do you expect them to travel as Turkey ambassadors around the world?

00:15But I'm sure there's one question.

00:18They want to know this question too.

00:20On everyone's mind, and what are their names?

00:23So now I'd like to ask my son Grant to officially introduce everyone to the 2024 presidential turkeys.

00:30And I'd like you to meet Peach and Blossom.

00:37After tomorrow's official pardon at the White House, Peach and Blossom will return to farm America,

00:46where they will enjoy a well-deserved retirement on our farm in southern Minnesota,

00:51a region celebrated as the global epicenter of food and agribusiness excellence.

00:58Peach and Blossom will feel...

01:00I'm a second-generation turkey farmer, and my family has been raising turkeys for over 70 years.

01:05Though this year is truly special because we have the unique responsibility of bringing two very important turkeys

01:11to the White House for the national 77th annual National Thanksgiving Turkey Presentation.

01:18Maybe not around the world, but part of their responsibilities as ambassadors for agriculture in Minnesota

01:23may be to go to some special events.

01:26So after tomorrow's presentation at the White House, Peach and Blossom will be retiring to farm America

01:32in Waseca, Minnesota, where they'll be well looked after and serve as agricultural ambassadors

01:37for hopefully years to come, providing visitors with an opportunity for education

01:41and a greater appreciation for agriculture.

01:44Maybe they'll go to a Minnesota hockey game or a football game,

01:47but their home base will be in Waseca, Minnesota, but if the need arises, they're willing to travel.

01:53And let me, on behalf of my family and all of America's turkey farmers,

01:56be the first to wish you a very happy Thanksgiving.
