About the Author
Eric Herm was raised on a cotton farm near Ackerly, Texas. He graduated from Abilene Christian University with a degree in broadcast journalism. After working in sports television broad- casting, he traveled extensively. Having broadened his mind, Herm eventually returned to Texas to work the land that has been in his family for almost 100 years. Startled by the changes he saw in the land, he began to change practices on his own farm and to speak out against the ravages caused by commercial agriculture. Eric lives on the farm with his wife, Alison, and their two sons.
From the Back Cover
"I can now recommend this one book to my students instead of the usual 20 that have been necessary to adequately describe the current state of our culture, governance, and environment."
Scott Pittman, Director and Founder with Bill Mollison of the Permaculture Institute
"This is an invaluable source for anyone wishing to learn the secrets of American agriculture and should be used as a textbook in our schools and colleges."
Derry Brownfield, Legendary rancher and national radio talk show host
"Herm offers a deeply engaging mix of personal insight, scientific knowledge, populist rage, and a quest to regain a true partnership with the rest of nature."
Brian Tokar, author of Earth for Sale, The Green Alternative, and Toward Climate Justice
"Our next generation of farmers will have to scratch a living and rebalance the carbon cycle. With good-natured humor and humility, Eric Herm shows the way forward."
Albert Bates, author of The Biochar Solution: Carbon Farming and Climate Change
