The Mad Farmer: Wendell Berry’s Agrarian Poetic (Part 4)

Part four of my series on Wendell Berry’s Mad Farmer character is now up on Sustainable Traditions. Here’s a good summary of what it’s about from editor Jason Fowler’s intro to the piece:

In this post we are reminded that we are to cultivate an agricultural and communal vision that marries the wisdom from the past with a view towards the distant future. If the result is unorthodox and against the popular opinion of the day- than so be it- we are contrarian as a means to enact a restoration of what has been broken.

If that sounds interesting, head on over and read the article. Also, please keep Jason’s family in prayer over the next few days. Something pretty significant is happening in their family’s life.
