Paper Summary:

This paper presents an overview and discussion of Wendell Berry's book about the plight of American farmers and our responsibility for stewardship of the land. The paper concludes that the arguments presented in "The Unsettling of America" about our duty to protect and keep the land are very persuasive, but that Berry must also provide some insight into how we are to go about doing so.

From the Paper:

"What should worry all of us is that the farmer is going the way of flypaper, and is being replaced by the agricultural corporation, with computers and agri-science experts to know just how much fertilizer and weed killers the ground can take, and how much production it will take to get beef cattle to market quicker than before. Farming, he implies, has become mass merchandising, and by people who generally wouldn't use some of the products they merchandise."
