Mechanization in farming leads to a cold and dead relationship with the land, devoid of any living connection.
Tenant farmers, who used animals to work the land, created a warm and life-giving environment.
The mechanical approach is driven by the selfish needs of the banks, focused solely on maximizing profits.
Chemical analysis is used to extract maximum production from the land, further objectifying it.
The community of tenant farmers is destroyed, leading to a loss of community and a sense of belonging.
