“Do-nothing farming”

 
"“The One-Straw Revolution,” by Masanobu Fukuoka is an important book. Fukuoka was so important in his time: He influenced all the radical thinkers about food. He talked about his way of farming as “do-nothing farming,” and I loved that revolutionary idea that we can let nature take its course instead of bending it to our will — and also that we cannot isolate agriculture from the rest of our lives."

 Lithuania's most important farmers live differently. On the one hand, they really farm without doing anything. There are no people in their vast fields. Powerful machinery bought with EU money pours seeds, fertilizers, pesticides into permanently arable land, collects grown grain and takes it abroad. As a result of such simplified farming, without serious work, the soil disappears. In practice, our farmers take the fertility of our land abroad, which is no longer left to our children and grandchildren.  

On the other hand, such Lithuanian agriculture is perfectly isolated from the rest of Lithuanian life. They don’t even pay taxes decently. We are left with only dust from their degraded fields. The communist parasites on the body of the nation are those former Soviet agronomists and collective farm chairmen and their descendants who have privatized our basic wealth.
