Introduction

See how the farmer waits for the precious fruit of the earth, Waiting patiently for it, Until it receives the early and latter rain. James 5.7b

Give fools their gold, and knaves their power. Let fortune's bubbles rise and fall. Who sows a field, or trains a flower, Or plants a tree, is more than all. John Greenleaf Whittier: "A Song of Harvest" When tillage begins, other arts follow. The farmers, therefore, are the founders of human civilization. Daniel Webster There is no gilding of setting sun, Or glamor of poetry, To light up the ferocious and endless toil of the farmers' wives. Hamlin Garland: "Melons and Early Frost" Agriculture -- the only honest way Wherein man receives a real increase of the seed thrown into the ground, In a kind of miracle, wrought by the hand of God in his favor, As a reward for his innocent life and his virtuous industry. Benjamin Franklin: "Concerning National Wealth"

Mankind's first occupation... Then the Lord God took the man and put him in the garden of Eden To tend & keep it. Gen 2.15 Mankind first occupation after the Great Flood... And Noah began to be a farmer, and he planted a vineyard. Gen 9.20 How God heals the weary and sorrowful soul... (God said...) And there shall dwell in Judah itself, and in all its cities together, farmers and those going out with flocks. For I have satiated the weary soul, and I have replenished every sorrowful soul. Jer 31.24-25
