Agriculture quotes and words of wisdom |  | "A cow is a very good animal in the field; but we turn her out of a
garden." | |  | Dr. Samuel Johnson
| | | "A farmer purchased an old, run?down, abandoned farm with plans to
turn it into a thriving enterprise. The fields were grown over with weeds,
the farmhouse was falling apart, and the fences were broken down. During
his first day of work, the town preacher stops by to bless the man"s work,
saying, "May you and God work together to make this the farm of your
dreams!" A few months later, the preacher stops by again to call on the
farmer. Lo and behold, it"s a completely different place. The farm house
is completely rebuilt and in excellent condition, there is plenty of
cattle and other livestock happily munching on feed in well?fenced pens,
and the fields are filled with crops planted in neat rows. "Amazing!" the
preacher says. "Look what God and you have accomplished together!" "Yes,
reverend," says the farmer, "but remember what the farm was like when God
was working it alone!"" | | | Unknown

thousand miles from the corn field." | | | General Dwight David Eisenhower

But we do grow some real red damn tomatoes such as you can"t get in the
stores. And potatoes, beans, lettuce, collards, onions, squash,
cauliflower, eggplant, carrots, peppers. Dirt in you own backyard,
producing things you eat. Makes you wonder." | | | Roy Blount, Jr.

it." | | | Charles Dudley Warner

land, for him is reward therein." | | | Prophet Muhammad
