I am a retired farmer's wife who, like James Rebanks, lived close to the earth, nature and the environment for many years. He has put imy concerns about industrial agriculture into words and reinforced my belief that humans should not try to dominate nature because no matter how hard you work, how smart you are, or how much money you have, Mother Nature will show you she is the boss. Everyone needs to learn that lesson and Rebanks can teach you.
