One of Birkerts’ comments that hit home was his noting of the farmer plowing a field a “historical constant for millennia” will end up some day in a theme park. Whether or not this is true is not my issue. As a farmer, I agree that this was a historical constant for agrarian societies of the past (and a few do still remain), but is only seen in places like Minnesota’s state seal and Amish communities (who I would assume are never able to weigh in on topics published digitally). But the advancement we have seen in the concept of plowing a field has been amazing over the past 100 years. From a team of horses tearing up a field to John Deere created the first steel plow, and now tractors taking the brunt of the work, we have not only advanced technology, we have saved lives.
