I recently came across a unique quote from FDR, commenting about soils.  It seems that in 1937, he recognized that the more we destroy our soils, the more problems we will have and the weaker we will be as a nation.  I am not sure if FDR actually followed his own words as many of the projects the Tennessee Valley Authority conducted dealt with building dams and utilizing natural resources.  With that being said, the quote is worthwhile.

“The Nation that destroys its soil destroys itself.”  FDR in a letter to all state governors, 1937

I truly believe in this…the better we treat our soil, the healthier our food and animals are and the healthier we will then become!
