once a man had thrust his hands into the soil and knew the grit of it between his teeth, he felt something rise within him that was not of his day or generation, but had persisted through birth and death from a time beyond recall.
Martha Ostenso
Image
I truly don't judge other people's actions. But I think that factory farming is an abomination.
Moby
Image
I figure if I have my health, can pay the rent and I have my friends, I call it 'content.'
Lauren Bacall

Natural farming is just farming, nothing more. You don't have to be a spiritually oriented person to practice my methods.

You need bad things to make good things. It’s like with farming— if you want to grow a good crop, you need a lot of manure.
Mike Watt
Image
The real path to natural farming requires that a person know what unaltered nature is, so that he or she can instinctively understand what needs to be done - and what must not be done - to work in harmony with its processes.

Family over friends, because real friends are family

The book [ One Thousand Gifts] took just over a year to write, on the fringe hours, early and late, around home educating 6 kids and farming and blogging.

Italians come to ruin most generally in three ways, women, gambling, and farming. My family chose the slowest one.

There are no Rohingya among the races [in Burma]. We only have Bengalis who were brought for farming [during British rule].
Thein Sein

A farmer's got to be born, same as a fool. You can't make a corn pone out of flour dough by the twistin' of it.
Ellen Glasgow

I can't give you a specific number today, in large part because the analysis upon which we would make that determination has not been completed. . . . I think it is fair to say there may be additional costs associated with a farming operation, but it is very difficult to quantify.

Farming is not just for growing crops, it is for the cultivation...o f human beings!
Masanobu Fukuoka

We've got a Muslim for a president who hates cowboys, hates cowgirls, hates fishing, hates farming, loves gays and we hate him!

Organic farming appealed to me because it involved searching for and discovering nature's pathways, as opposed to the formulaic approach of chemical farming. The appeal of organic farming is boundless this mountain has no top, this river has no end.

Earth is here so kind, that just tickle her with a hoe and she laughs with a harvest.
Douglas William Jerrold
Image
It is vitally important that we can continue to say, with absolute conviction, that organic farming delivers the highest quality, best-tasting food, produced without artificial chemicals or genetic modification, and with respect for animal welfare and the environment, while helping to maintain the landscape and rural communities.

Family, work, familiarity. Listen, if I had a magic wand and I could make myself really be happy, I'd zap me onto a farm. And I know nothing about farming.

China is now urging citizens to eat less meat. Factory farming comes with immense costs to a society, and Chinese leaders are starting to recognize its implications for water use, the efficient use of grains and other food resources, and human health concerns.

We can learn to ignore the bullshit in the Bible about gay people. The same way we have learned to ignore the bullshit in the Bible about shellfish, about slavery, about dinner, about farming, about menstruation, about virginity, about masturbation.

The farmer is the only man in our economy who buys everything at retail, sells everything at wholesale, and pays the freight both ways.
John F. Kennedy

I don't understand the notion that modern farming is anything do to with nature. It's a pretty gross interference with nature. I think it ought to be governed by the standards of how it affects the individual animals, just as we'd want to deal with institutions that deal with humans by how they affect individual humans.
Peter Singer
Image
One of the remarks made by farmers at their public discussion of these problems suggest that they are rapidly ceasing to think of animals as sentient beings at all. If you handle vast numbers of creatures which are in any case going to die soon, it is, I suppose, easy to get into a state of mind in which they seem to be merely machines.
