b'We are certainly confused, and our confusion makes us vulnerable to the Great Either/Or-ness of todays culture wars. Get Big vs. Get Out, industrial vs. agrarian, urban vs. rural. Remember such goodies as this? Al Gore wants everyone to ride bicycles and return to subsistence agricul-ture. Contemporary versions of such ideological scorn are abundant, from all directions, and do not need repeating.No, everyone isnt going to put down their electronic toys and pick up a hoe. No, not everyone enjoys the prospect of a techno-utopian Mars-dream. No, everyone isnt going to abandon hot dogs in favor of faux chiens. And, no, not everyone who shops at the farmers market is a Prius-driving, downward-dog-loving, trust-fund baby boomer. If we can rise above such false choices, we can all look together towards the possibility of a Great American Do-Over. Helping us see that far is the next generation of small and midsized diversified, organic farms, in and around scores of cities and towns across the land, improving our health, making conviviality and civility real, and rebuilding community, as surely as grain production returning to Maine, hogs grazing the food forests of northern Virginia, salmon returning to the Mattole River watershed, and wind rippling through amber waves of Kernza. 2626 Kernza is intermediate wheatgrass, a new crop being bred at the Land Institute in Salina, Kansas as a deep-rooted, perennial alternative to wheat.45'
