If You're Smart, Put Your Money Into Anything Related To Agriculture

Nobody wants to farm any more. Yet there are more people than even now. Seven billion of us....Fewer and fewer people are producing more and more food for more and more of us. That's only going to get worse over the next 20 or 30 years. So if you're smart, put your money into anything related to agriculture. - in Farmland Investment

Agriculture: We Have No Farmers

More people in America study public relations than study farming. We have no farmers. You cannot eat press releases.

It has been a horrible business for 30 years. Prices have to go up a lot, or we're not going to have any food at any price. - in Economic Times

Acknowledge The Complexity Of The World

“Acknowledge the complexity of the world and resist the impression that you easily understand it. People are too quick to accept conventional wisdom, because it sounds basically true and it tends to be reinforced by both their peers and opinion leaders, many of whome have never looked at whether the facts support the received wisdom. It's a basic fact of life that many things "everybody knows" turn out to be wrong.” ― in A Gift To My Children
