Rebuiding a Loss of Nature - assignment 3/9

I really liked Medell Berry’s The Making of a Marginal Farm because I felt I could relate to the story and it was somewhat inspiring to read about what someone can accomplish with a lot of hard work. I lived on a farm and know that in farming, the most successful farmers are usually the ones who work the hardest. It is amazing that Berry and his wife were able to transform practically worthless land into decent farming land. It goes to show that hard work is often well rewarded. I think another point Berry was trying to make in his essay was how people need to take care of the land or it deteriorate to nothing. If we ruin the land, it will be nearly impossible to rebuild it back to its original quality like Berry did. It would be much easier to take the steps to preserve the land now.
