A Brief History of Agriculture Once upon a time in the long ago plants and peoples two legged, four legged, six legged, eight legged, no legs, live in a harmony of prey and predator servicing each other for life and death. Then two legged peoples with busy mouths and grasping hands begin to settle, building cities, enslaving the land, the waters, the plants, and the peoples two legged, four legged, six legged, eight legged, no legs, breaking the harmony becoming predator to all. But now, some few two legged people seeing that the world is burning are planting trees and gardening for life inviting those others four legged, six legged, eight legged, no legs, restoring the harmony yard by acre rebuilding what was lost.
