Gordon Tooley reads a passage from "Soils and Men" during our "Organic Orchard Mangement" class given by Permaculture Drylands Institute. The passage is about our society's neglect of the soil. Seventy years have passed since these words were first printed. So how far have we come?
Excerpt read from Soils and Men, 1938 Yearbook of Agriculture, U.S. Department of Agriculture.
