Synopsis
Excerpt from Letter to the West Country Farmers, Concerning the Difficulties and Management of a Bad Harvest: Written in the End of the Year 1772
Good Friends,
Of all laborious employments yours is the most useful, and perhaps, upon the whole, is the most pleasant and healthful. There are, however, inconveniencies, toils, and hazards attending it, which greatly diminish both its comforts and its profits. These chiefly arise from your climate and seasons, which in the weft country, are not often very favourable to your operations and hopes. But of all the calamities attending husbandry, none gives the farmer so much trouble as bad harvest seasons. These produce at times the most painful anxiety: they increase the labours and expences of the husbandman. And the more he has improved his fields, and has seen upon them the fruits of his skill and industry, the greater often is his loss, and the more grievous his disappointment. Nor does it fiction to the add a small matter to his grief, that his misfortune happens at the very time when he thought of enjoying the returns of all his labours.
