Agriculture (with introduction by Kent Mullinex). Tilth Producers
2005 Conference Keynote Address. "There are interesting analogies
between agricultural systems and the three pillars of
physics'Newtonian Mechanics, Quantum Theory and Relativity Theory'in
that some facets of agriculture are predictable (Newtonian), whereas
others are relative (Relativity) and considerably less predictable
(Quantum)." Fred Provenza, Dept. of Forest, Range and Wildlife
