The most important question is whether or not good farming can be understood as an industry. The answer is that it cannot be so understood. The reasons are complicated, but they may be summed up in two facts: first, farming depends on living creatures and biological processes, whereas the materials of industry are not alive and the processes are mechanical; and, second, a factory is, and is expected to be, temporary, whereas a farm, if well farmed, will last forever—and if poorly farmed, will be destroyed forever. (Wendell Berry, "Stockman and the Plowman," New York Times, Op-ed, Feb.
26, 1985)
