William Arthur Ward

good quote

"Saving the family farm will forever be a process, not a goal or a destination. Like any necessary chore, the work never ends. It only waits for us the following morning, or the following season. So I wake, and enter the day.
Somewhere, another farm awaits it's farmer."

"The greatest gifts you can give your children are the roots of responsibility and the wings of independence."

good quote

"Why do farmers farm, given their economic adversities on top of the many frustrations and difficulties normal to farming? And always the answer is; "Love. They must do it for love." Farmers farm for the love of farming. They love to watch and nurture the growth of plants. They love to live in the presences of animals. They love to work outdoors. They love the weather, maybe even when it is making them miserable. They love to live where they work, and to work where they live. If the scale of their farming is small enough, they like to work in the company of their children and with the help of their children. They love the measure of independence that farm life can still provide. I have an idea that a lot of farmers have gone to a lot of trouble merely to be self-employed to live at least a part of their lives without a boss."

Wendell Berry, Bringing it to the Table: On Farming and Food
