#StockPhotography from Art BySilent Studio covering the farm and farming with quotes to inspire. "There seem to be but three ways for a nation to acquire wealth. The first is by war, as the Romans did, in plundering their conquered neighbors. This is robbery. The second by commerce, which is generally cheating. The third by agriculture, the only honest way, wherein man receives a real increase of the seed thrown into the ground, in a kind of continual miracle, wrought by the hand of God in his favor, as a reward for his innocent life and his virtuous industry." - Benjamin Franklin Plus, access to all 50 images in the Farms Vol I catalog. #Wallart for those on a tight budget or home #decorators with razor-thin margins.

"A recent review of different
agricultural options for the
future was conducted by a
panel of experts. The
scientists posed the question:
How are we going to feed the
world when there are nine
billion people on it, as there
will be by 2050? And the
answer they came up with
was industrial agriculture
won't work and genetic engineering won't work and the solution is going to
be sustainable, and going to ecological kinds of farming that are based on
local environmental conditions that work with local ecosystems available to
develop a richer kind of farming technology." - Raj Patel
"Man is the
only
creature that
consumes
without
producing.
He does not
give milk, he
does not lay
eggs, he is
too weak to
pull the
plough, he
cannot run
fast enough to catch rabbits. Yet he is lord of all the animals." -
George Orwell

"There are two
spiritual dangers in
not owning a farm.
One is the danger of
supposing that
breakfast comes
from the grocery,
and the other that
heat comes from
the furnace." -
Aldo Leopold
"It is sad, no doubt,
to exhaust one's strength and one's days in cleaving the bosom of this jealous
earth, which compels us to wring from it the treasures of its fertility, when a
bit of the blackest and coarsest bread is, at the end of the day's work, the sole
recompense and the sole profit attaching to so arduous a toil." -

"The wrecking ball is
characteristic of our
way with materials.
We 'cannot afford' to
log a forest
selectively, to mine
without destroying
topography, or to
farm without
catastrophic soil
erosion. A
production-oriented
economy can indeed
live in this way, but only so long as production lasts." - Wendell Berry
"There seem to be but
three ways for a
nation to acquire
wealth. The first is by
war, as the Romans
did, in plundering
their conquered
neighbors. This is
robbery. The second
by commerce, which
is generally cheating.
The third by
agriculture, the only
honest way, wherein man receives a real increase of the seed thrown into the
ground, in a kind of continual miracle, wrought by the hand of God in his
favor, as a reward for his innocent life and his virtuous industry." -

"What the meat industry figured out is
that you don't need healthy animals to
make a profit. Sick animals are more
profitable... Factory farms calculate how
close to death they can keep animals
without killing them. That's the business
model. How quickly they can be made to
grow, how tightly they can be packed, how
much or how little can they eat, how sick
they can get without dying...We live in a
world in which it's conventional to treat
an animal like a block of wood." -

"Comrades!' he cried. 'You
do not imagine, I hope, that
we pigs are doing this in a
spirit of selfishness and
privilege? Many of us
actually dislike milk and
apples. I dislike them
myself. Our sole object in
taking these things is to
preserve our health. Milk
and apples (this has been
proved by Science, comrades) contain substances absolutely necessary to the
well-being of a pig. We pigs are brainworkers. The whole management and
organisation of this farm depend on us. Day and night we are watching over
your welfare. It is for your sake that we drink the milk and eat those apples." -
George Orwell
"Coming from a
farming
background, I saw
nothing out of the
ordinary in
running barefoot,
although it
seemed to startle
the rest of the
athletics world. I
have always
enjoyed going
barefoot and
when I was
growing up I seldom wore shoes, even when I went into town." - Zola Budd

"Home. It's such a simple word,
one I never knew would come to
mean as much to me as it has. It
once was my dad's house, then
my uncle's farm. Mostly it's
meant wherever Charlie and I
were together. Now, though, it's
you. It's your letters, your words.
They're the place I go to with my
fears, where I find comfort, where
I feel safe." - Kristina McMorris

"Nearly all of our
existing power
sources are
generators which
use a heat cycle. This
includes our coal,
oil, and gas fired
utilities, our
automobiles, trucks,
and trains, and even
our nuclear fission
utility power
plants." - Wilson

"In food, issues
that surround
purchasing and
that whole realm
have a very
political
component and
they branch into
stories that can
be really
compelling. Just
being on the
farm, interacting
with all these
people in the industry, leads to personal narratives that can be used to make
a larger point." - Dan Barber
"There is a long
and honorable
tradition of
citizens in
service to their
nation that goes
back at least as
far as
Cincinnatus, the
Roman citizen
who, more than
once answered
his country's
call, then returned to his farm and his family and his work." - Tom Clancy
