What others think of Acres U.S.A.

  • “Acres U.S.A. has always been an island of strength and stability amidst raging waters. If you think back to the beginnings of chemical agriculture in the 1850s it was nearly a century before that method truly stormed the world. What Rudolf Steiner initiated in response to chemical agriculture in 1924 is similarly slow in emerging as a truly scientific method, but it is emerging and may very well "go viral" in a similar time frame. If it does so it will be because of such efforts as Acres U.S.A., and it won't be driven by huge chemical conglomerates, it will be driven by grassroots farmers.”

  • “Over the past few years of reading Acres U.S.A., I continue to feel both lucky and inspired by both your publication and the community of farmers, gardeners and researchers doing such good work all around the country (and world). In spite all of the obstacles to doing this good, thoughtful, and ecologically sound work, I continue to be inspired by all the crazies out there doing it. And I call them/you/us "crazies" because it is clear that we are still on the edge of acceptability even if we are just working toward "soil in good heart." So thanks for providing a place for all this richness right in the middle of millions of acres of herbicidal, pesticidal, biocidal madness.”

  • “I regard Acres U.S.A. as the most valuable farming magazine in the world. It is always at the cutting edge of agricultural systems with technical information that you will not find in other publications. Very importantly for me are the real world examples from farmers and the various systems that they use. Applying this information has made a great difference to the productivity of my farm. I have been subscribing to Acres for around 20 years and look forward to receiving my copy every month.”
