Anyone who says or believes farming is easy is certifiably insane; with
all the cultural lore about the miserable lives of farmers, how could
anyone think otherwise? Mollison does have some old stories about how
many people could make a living from one piece of land, and I do think
those are Bill's fantasies rather than anything he's seen people
actually do. Bill is magnificent tale-spinner and a great salesman.
That's typical for a visionary. There are a few teachers repeating
Bill's stories, and it's a disreputable thing to do. At least make up
your own. But are there really people coming out of PDCs and
straightaway buying farms, thinking it's going to be one big party?
