Farmer in Chief

October 21st, 2008 · 1 Comment

I’ve just now finished reading Michael Pollan’s recently published piece in the New York Times Magazine titled Farmer in Chief.

While I was reading it, I had a brief moment where I was gripped with a visceral fear. I do not often find myself dreading the future as I did just now. I’m not really sure what caused it, maybe it was just a vague and unspecified fear of change, fear of an unknown future in which maybe I’m going to live through food riots in my time.

I don’t know, I’m overreacting and now that I’m considering it in retrospect I feel like instead of dread I kind of want to figure out how to get some land to my name in the middle of America and then how to make it productive.

    Yeah that’s the first time I’ve seen the term “farmer-scholar” used. I want to be a “hax0r-scholar” one day.
