If a farmer does abandon his or her "tame" fields completely to nature, mistakes and destruction are inevitable.

If we throw mother nature out the window, she comes back in the door with a pitchfork.

Of course, I have made mistakes . . . just as every grower does. However, I never really think of them as mistakes!

I believe that even 'returning-to-nature' and anti pollution activities, no matter how commendable, are not moving toward a genuine solution if they are carried out solely in reaction to the over development of the present age.

Since I turned the fields back to their natural state, I can't say I've had any really difficult problems with insects or disease.

Left alone, the earth maintains its own fertility, in accordance with the orderly cycle of plant and animal life.
