Madden: Industrialists address problems by simplifying them, but in farming that strategy usually leads to oversimplification  For example, industrialists see water retention and drainage as different and opposite functions -- that good topsoil both drains and retains water is a fact alien to industrial logic  To facilitate water retention, they use a terrace or a dam; to facilitate drainage, they use drain tile, a ditch, or a subsoiler
More farming problems are created than solved when agriculture is the domain of the industrialist, not of the farmer
Farmers are better than anyone else at solving farming problems.
