Book excerpt: Excerpt from Transactions of the Norfolk Agricultural Society, for 1867 And now I shall have something to say with regard to the first question, Does it pay to be a farmer? And my remarks might be arranged, perhaps, under the general subject of Some of the Defects of New England Agriculture; in the course of which, if any one is inclined to the Opinion that it does not pay, I think I shall be able to show the reason why, and perhaps to suggest a remedy. And here let me begin by saying that we, as a body of farmers, are too scattering or diffusive in our labor; that is, we aim at doing too many things, and spread our energies over too much ground, instead of concentrating our thoughts, our skill, and our means upon some special line of effort, some particular crop, or some leading branch of farming.
