James Rebanks is a phenomenal writer, he style is so soothing. I wish he wrote about more things.

This book captures the current issues plaguing our farming system as seen from a farming family's eyes. It is refreshing this book as it is not a polemic against the industrial way as most city born naturalists would lean towards.

But he makes a good valid point perhaps food has become too cheap, farmers who are the stewards of the land are not able to make a good living by doing right to nature.

A tad bit romantic in parts but Rebanks has actually is a a farmer so he can be as romantic as he wants.
