Ignorance, hatred and greed are killing nature.

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

Giving up your ego is the shortest way to unification with nature.

Unless people can become natural people, there can be neither natural farming nor natural food.

As far as my planting program goes, I simply broadcast rye and barley seed on separate fields in the fall . . . while the rice in those areas is still standing. A few weeks after that I harvest the rice, and then spread its straw back over the fields as mulch.

One of the most important discoveries I made in those early years was that to succeed at natural farming, you have to get rid of your expectations. Such "products" of the mind are often incorrect or unrealistic . . . and can lead you to think you've made a mistake if they're not met.
