Rebuttal to The Omnivore's Delusion

Mom cut this out of the Minnesota Farm Guide and mailed it to me, so I subscribed to an RSS feed of another publication (The Land) that carries Guebert's column. He might be one of my earliest teachers of farm policy, as I grew up reading ag journalism. This is an outstanding response to the essay by Blake Hurst I commented on a while ago. He calls out the parts that were "simple, often one-sided statements," and he then crystallizes his own philosophy in one simple sentence: "Farmers farm to feed their families through the profit they (hope to) generate." His argument is that we don't "have to farm 'industrially' to feed the world." Read what the Minnesota Farm Guide printed under the headline, "Feed the world? C'mon, let's get real about it."
