"Levi is not just a philosopher of the history and culture of agriculture; he is an innovative farmer who marries technology with ecology."

Francis Thicke, Soil scientist and organic farmer

In a state dominated by mono-cropped GMO corn and soybeans and hog factory farms, sixth-generation farmer Levi Lyle offers a new, comprehensive, and holistic, yet practical vision to regenerate rural Iowa-and America-that he thoughtfully and eloquently presents in "So God Made a Farmer: "A Retrospective on The Living Words of Paul Harvey by an Organic Farmer."

Levi sees the problems with the current corporate-dominated industrial agriculture methods that are eroding Iowa's rich soils, polluting its waterways, and hollowing out its once vibrant small towns. But Levi's thoughtful message is not one of division but one of hope, aiming to bring people together to revive rural communities. Levi's perspective is solidly grounded on his family farm with its diversified production based on organic and regenerative agriculture practices.

Levi Lyle is not only a farmer, but in his prolific writings, such as So God Made a Farmer, he is also an eloquent spokesperson for a new vision of agriculture that is quickly gaining ground in America and around the world. In this way, Levi Lyle may become the Wendell Berry of his generation.
