— Larry Reichenberger, from the essay “Building Better Soils” in The Furrow (John Deere, February 2013). Excerpt from the library of Fred Kirschenmann, author of “Cultivating an Ecological Conscience,” distinguished Fellow at the Leopold Center for Sustainable Agriculture, and president of Kirschenmann Family Farms.
