Before Researchers Become Researches They Should Become

Unless People Can Become Natural People, There Can Be Neither Natural Farming Nor Natural Food.

Life On A Small Farm Might Seem Primitive, But By Living Such A Life We Become Able To Discover The Great Path. I Believe That One Who Deeply Respects His Neighborhood And Everyday World In Which He Lives Will Be Shown The Greatest Of All Worlds.

As Far As My Planting Program Goes, I Simply Broadcast Rye And Barley Seed On Separate Fields In The Fall . . . While The Rice In Those Areas Is Still Standing. A Few Weeks After That I Harvest The Rice, And Then Spread Its Straw Back Over The Fields As Mulch.

My Ultimate Dream Is To Sow Seeds In The Desert. To Revegetate The Deserts Is To Sow Seed In People's Hearts.

One Of The Most Important Discoveries I Made In Those Early Years Was That To Succeed At Natural Farming, You Have To Get Rid Of Your Expectations. Such "products" Of The Mind Are Often Incorrect Or Unrealistic . . . And Can Lead You To Think You've Made A Mistake If They're Not Met.
