Farmers in Grey County, says George McLean,
have lived in "this garden of Eden for such a
long time that they don't know exactly what
they have. What they're inviting is not what
they've had. It's short-term. It's terminal."
"The Golden Rule of Land Use," page 33
"It must become obvious to thoughtful farmers
that ever-increasing productivity leads to ever-
increasing problems. How do we as farmers
stop this madness? There is a solution ..."
"Feedback: Remember the Land," page 3
Percy Moyer: "Every farmer has to have a certain
amount of patience. You can't go and do everything
at once to make everything Al." — page 36
