“On each world we visit, you must try to gain permission to leave a flock of our intelligent animals. Consult with the livestock on who wishes to take the opportunity if it is granted.

To every farmer that accepts this chance for greatness, give them a copy of this book.”

— speech given by a being emerging from the walls of the Beloved

When I was working on my irrigation, I hardly thought that one day I would be gifted with the opportunity of working with intelligent livestock on my farms

It has had its trials, but they are far outweighed by the many joys of successful and profitable farming.

The key to achieving success is simple to say, but hard to follow. Talk to them, listen to them. Do not feel you know best, let yourself be guided by their insight.
