“Essentially, any farming system which can go on for generations without deterioration of the land, or in quality or the quantity of its yields, and without being dependent upon outside sources for the maintenance of soil fertility is right and therefore sound.”

- C. Howard Jones, Is Modern Farming Unsound? In: The Natural Order, Ed. H.J. Massingham (1945).
