Attention

Mowing the fields is an education in soil and microclimate. I notice the differences in plants, thistles here in a wet pocket, bluets here on the hillside, Rudbeckia in the higher dryer areas.....not to mention the shift to blueberries where the soil becomes drier and acidic. So the plants tell us where they like to grow, wheras agribusiness feels that if you flood enough water and fertilizers you can grow anything. Back to pushing on a rope?
