Jim Bones' "On a Green Mountain" at http://www.seedball.com/gmmfpa.html sets the opening scene quite nicely. To quote a morsel: Energetically he said, "Most farmers begin by asking, what if I do this or what if I do that, but only dissipate themselves that way. My approach is just the opposite, seek the pleasant, natural way of farming. In order to make the work easier, not harder, I ask, how about not doing this or how about not doing that? By actual practice I finally reached the conclusion there is no need to plow, no need to apply artificial fertilizer, no need to use pesticides at all. Most of the work of farming is created by tampering with Nature which causes negative side effects. Very few agricultural practices are even necessary, just scattering seed, spreading straw on the soil and harvesting." My purpose isn't to preach Fukuoka merely rattle a few skeletons! Cheerio...
