Be in 1970, when there were merely a few lone souls
practicing eco-agriculture, farming that is both economical and
ecological, Acres U.S.A. founder and executive editor Charles
Walters recognized how the methodical cheating of small farmers
and the enforced swing toward new, agriculture were
gears in the same machine, working in tandem to transform the
countryside -- and not for the better. Corporate power and public
policy were colluding in the destruction of the family farm, and
the process of annihilation was gathering speed. Walters met,
interviewed and presented to the public the works of soil
scientists, farmers, economic thinkers and farm policy experts
who were gradually being pushed aside by mainstream publications
in favor of more modern, and more toxic, solutions. He worked
tirelessly to reveal the inadequacies of farming, and
promoted gently coaxing nature into yielding her bounty.
