Gene Logsdon died recently. I’ve been reading a lot his work over the last year or so, because we’ve bought a small farm, and we’re trying to learn, well, how to farm. (That’s the reason for my complete silence since then. No time!) He’s a great source for small-scale farming techniques. He had strong views on farming and many other things, and never hesitated to speak on those other things. You’re just as likely to find philosophy as farming in his work. I much prefer Logsdon as a farmer to Logsdon as a philosopher, to be honest. But I just finished a largely philosophical book of his anyway—a work called The Mother of All Arts.
