Farming looks mighty easy when your plow is a pencil and you're a thousand miles from the corn field.

Agriculture for an honorable and highminded man, is the best of all occupations or arts by which men procure the means of living.

You can make a small fortune in farming-provided you start with a large one.

A reasonable agriculture would do its best to emulate nature. Rather than change the earth to suit a crop it would diversify its crops to suit the earth.
