Farmer Quotes

Modern research divides nature into tiny pieces and conducts tests that conform neither with natural law nor with practical experience. The results are arranged for the convenience of research, not according to the needs of the farmer Picture Quote #1

There is no time in modern agriculture for a farmer to write a poem or compose a song Picture Quote #1

To the factory farmer, in contrast to the traditional farmer with his sense of honor and obligation, the animals are production units, and accorded all the sympathy that term suggests Picture Quote #1

An organic farmer is the best peacemaker today, because there is more violence, more death, more destruction, more wars, through a violent industrial agricultural system. And to shift away from that into an agriculture of peace is what organic farming is doing Picture Quote #1

One thing I’ve learned from my short time trying to be a farmer is that our farmers have to be the bravest, most optimistic people in the world. To go back to the land year after year, after what nature throws at them and the world economy does to their income, takes a special kind of person Picture Quote #1

As a farmer, man himself became closely attached to the landscape, firmly rooted to the soil that supported him. At times the soil seemed bountiful and kindly and again stubborn and unfriendly, but it was always a challenge to man’s cunning Picture Quote #1

I observed that the successful farmer worked at his job. He would do his plowing, disking, harrowing, seeding, and harvesting in the proper season and at the proper time, while his neighbor was procrastinating, or off hunting and fishing while the work was still to be done. We must learn to set our priorities straight. No one can be successful in his line of work unless he works at it in the proper season and plays in the proper season Picture Quote #1

As a farmer, you learn quick: You don’t get anything that you don’t work hard for Picture Quote #1

My feeling was, you plant some seeds. If they grow, great; if they don’t, you don’t take it personally. Not my problem; I just kept planting. Just like a farmer Picture Quote #1

As a child, I wanted to marry a farmer, but no doubt the reality would have been very different to the idyll in my head Picture Quote #1

Whether some may like it or not, I am still the farmer that I was born as and will continue to be one Picture Quote #1

I thought maybe I’d be a farmer. That was another silly notion. I think I’d last about five minutes, being a farmer Picture Quote #1

I’m 36 years old, I love my family, I love baseball, and I’m about to become a farmer. But until I heard the voice, I’d never done a crazy thing in my whole life Picture Quote #1

I was lucky to grow up at a time when it was not difficult for the child of a tenant farmer to make his way to the state university Picture Quote #1

The plough is to the farmer what the wand is to the sorcerer. Its effect is really like sorcery Picture Quote #1

There is a popular conception about karma, and that is that as you sow, so shall you reap. That’s only true if you’re a farmer Picture Quote #1

The farmer is a poor creature who skins the land and leaves it worthless to his children. The farmer is a good farmer who, having enabled the land to support himself and to provide for the education of his children, leaves it to them a little better than he found it himself Picture Quote #1

Every time somebody has thought of relief for the farmer it has been to make it so he could borrow more money. What he needs is some way to pay back. Not some way to borrow more Picture Quote #1

It looks to me like the candidates are trying to relieve the farmer of his vote, instead of his debts Picture Quote #1

Polo, racing and horse shows all are doing great work to help the farmer and rancher to raise better horses Picture Quote #1

Horses raise what the farmer eats and eats what the farmer raises. You can’t plow the ground and get gasoline Picture Quote #1

Since chemical fertilizer burns out the soil organic matter, other farmers struggle with tilth, water retention, and basic soil nutrients. The soil gets harder and harder every year as the chemicals burn out the organic matter, which gives the soil its sponginess. One pound of organic matter holds four pounds of water. The best drought protection any farmer can acquire is more soil organic matter Picture Quote #1

Unkindness to anything means an injustice to that thing. If I am unkind to you I do you an injustice, or wrong you in some way. On the other hand, if I try to assist you in every way that I can to make a better citizen and in every way to do my very best for you, I am kind to you. The above principles apply with equal force to the soil. The farmer whose soil produces less every year, is unkind to it in some way; that is, he is not doing by it what he should; he is robbing it of some substance it must have, and he becomes, therefore, a soil robber rather than a progressive farmer Picture Quote #1

When we mistake what we can know for all there is to know, a healthy appreciation of one’s ignorance in the face of a mystery like soil fertility gives way to the hubris that we can treat nature as a machine. Once that leap has been made, one input follows another, so that when the synthetic nitrogen fed to plants makes them more attractive to insects and vulnerable to disease, as we have discovered, the farmer turns to chemical pesticides to fix his broken machine Picture Quote #1

Agriculture is the greatest and fundamentally the most important of our industries. The cities are but the branches of the tree of national life, the roots of which go deeply into the land. We all flourish or decline with the farmer Picture Quote #1

A home in the country is what a city man hopes to buy and a farmer hopes to sell Picture Quote #1

As the fisherman depends upon the rivers, lakes and seas and the farmer upon the land for his existence, so does mankind in general depend upon the beauty of the world about him for his spiritual and emotional existence Picture Quote #1

They reminded me of the biggest liar I ever knew personally. Was a farmer, too. Reputation of pretty good farmer at that, but he lied so he had to hire another man to call his pigs Picture Quote #1

How will you know a good farmer when you meet him? He will not ask you for any favors Picture Quote #1

When I got out of school, I spent two years just hitchhiking around. Every time I met some old farmer who could play banjo, I got him to teach me a lick or two. Little by little, I put it together Picture Quote #1
