Did you think Buck wrote this? He's quoting--without attribution, and without 
even quite marks to show he's quoting--from a New York Times article.

 Then there is the feel of the soil.

Dirt in two fields around Alton where biotech corn was being
grown was hard and compact. Prying corn stalks from the soil with a
shovel was difficult, and when the plants finally came up, their
roots were trapped in a chunk of dirt. Once freed, the roots spread
out flat like a fan and were studded with only a few nodules, which
are critical to the exchange of nutrients.
In comparison, conventional corn in adjacent fields could be
tugged from the ground by hand, and dirt with the consistency of wet
coffee grounds fell off the corn plants’ knobby roots.
