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

We receive our nourishment from the Mother Earth. So we should put our hands together in an attitude of prayer and say "please" and "thank you" when dealing with nature.

In my opinion, if 100% of the people were farming it would be ideal. If each person were given one quarter-acre, that is 1 1/4 acres to a family of five, that would be more than enough land to support the family for the whole year. If natural farming were practiced, a farmer would also have plenty of time for leisure and social activities within the village community. I think this is the most direct path toward making this country a happy, pleasant land.

Ignorance, hatred and greed are killing nature.

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.

The healing of the land and the purification of the human spirit is the same process.

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