“Mares and stallions... I've traveled well over half this here state to be here tonight. I couldn't get away sooner because my new orchard was coming in at Varnity Hills and I had to see about it. That orchard is now makin’ well over two thousand barrels of apples and it's paying me an income of five thousand bits a month. I have two others being bucked and I have sixteen producing at Antelope. So, Mares and stallions... if I say I'm an apple filly y’all will agree. Y’all have a great chance here, but bear in yer minds, ye can lose it all if you're not careful. Out of all ponies that beg for a chance to drill your lots, maybe one in twenty will be apple ponies and the rest of them varmits will be speculators-that's ponies trying to get between you and the apple ponies-to get some of the money that ought’a come to you. Even if you find one that has money, and means to buck, he'll maybe know nothing about bucking and he'll have to hire out the job on contract, and then y’all be depending on a contractor that's trying to rush the job through so he can get another contract just as quick as he can. This is... the way that this works. “Applejack said to the apple-thirsty observers. Out of the crowd, a stallion exclaimed, “What is your offer? We're wasting our time!” To which Applejack replied, “I do my own bucking and planting, and the ponies that work for me, work for me and they are ponies I know. I make it my business to be there and see to their work. I don't lose my tools in the hole and spend months fishing for them; I don't cut the planting off and let water in the fields and ruin the whole lease. I'm a family mare- I run a family business. This is my sis’ and my partner, Applebloom.” She patted Applebloom, who was right next to her, on the back “Aww. Thanks sis!” said Applebloom.
Applejack continued, “As y’all can see, we offer you the bond of family that very few ponies can understand. I should know, I’m the Element of Honesty where I come from, and I'm fixed like no other company in this field and that's because my Varnity Hills orchards been producing like mad! I got a string of tools all ready to work. I have business connections so I can get the seeds for the orchard; these sorts of things go by friendship in a rush like this, something I happen to know much about. And this is why I can guarantee to start plantin’ and put up the bits to back my word. I assure y’all, whatever the others promise to do, when it comes to the showdown, they won't be there... “She chuckled at this last remark. The citizens of Capplefornia eventually came to an agreement, and allowed Applejack to begin planting an apple orchard, which over due time, began to flourish.
