Farming for Us All : Practical Agriculture and the Cultivation of Sustainability
Climate change. Habitat loss. Soil erosion. Groundwater depletion. Toxins in our food. Inhumane treatment of farm animals. Increasing farm worker exploitation. Hunger and malnutrition in the midst of plenty. What will it take for farmers in the United States to embrace sustainable practices?Michael Mayerfeld Bell’s Farming for Us All first tackled this question twenty years ago, providing crucial insight into how the structure of US agriculture created this situation and exploring, by contrast, the practices of farmers who are working together to radically change how they think, learn, and grow.This updated edition of his now-classic work reflects on the lessons learned over the past two decades. Constrained by an oppressive nexus of markets, regulations, subsidies, and technology, farmers find themselves undermining their own economic and social security as well as the security of the land.Bell turns to Practical Farmers of Iowa (PFI), that state’s largest sustainable-agriculture group.He traces how PFI creates an agriculture that engages others—farmers, researchers, officials, and consumers—in a common conversation about what agriculture could look like.Through dialogue, PFI members crossbreed knowledge, discovering pragmatic solutions to help crops grow in ways that sustain families, communities, societies, economies, and environments. Farming for Us All makes the case that for sustainable farming to flourish, new social relations are as important to cultivate as new crops.This book is necessary—and hopeful—reading for anyone concerned about the present and future of food and farming.

Why is the upper thread not pulling the lower thread?
There are several reasons why the upper thread may not be pulling the lower thread. One common reason is that the upper thread tension may be too loose, causing the upper thread to not have enough tension to pull the lower thread. Another reason could be that the upper thread is not properly threaded through the tension discs or the needle, leading to a lack of tension. Additionally, there may be a problem with the bobbin, such as it being inserted incorrectly or the bobbin tension being too tight, preventing the lower thread from being pulled up properly.

Why do we say "red thread" instead of "green thread"?
The phrase "red thread" is often used to refer to a common theme or connection that runs through a series of events or ideas. This phrase may have originated from the ancient Chinese legend of the "red string of fate," which is said to connect people who are destined to meet or be together. The color red is often associated with passion, fate, and significance, which may be why it is used in this phrase. Additionally, red is a bold and attention-grabbing color, making it a fitting choice for a phrase that signifies a strong and meaningful connection.

How do you determine the thread pitch without a thread gauge?
To determine the thread pitch without a thread gauge, you can use a ruler to measure the distance between the peaks of the threads. Then, count the number of peaks within a one-inch span. Divide the number of peaks by the measurement in inches to determine the thread pitch. Another method is to use a pitch gauge, which is a tool with a series of blades that can be matched against the threads to determine the pitch. Additionally, you can compare the threads to a known thread pitch to visually estimate the pitch.
