Happiness is a patch of good tilled earth

We have this great video called Farmers and their Innovative Cover Cropping Techniques that the kids love to watch, mostly for the tractors, but is really helpful and informative. Anyway, in that video, one of the farmers, Will Stevens I think, talks about how he used to think a brown field was a clean field, but now he has come to appreciate the beauty of green fields even more. Cover crops harvest the power of the sun to feed the soil, I think he said. And I am sure he is right, but still, a patch of fresh tilled earth is a beautiful thing.
