This, then, was a man who, almost literally, sowed the seeds of our present farming paradoxes; beginning, or at least accelerating, a process which raised questions that are still unresolved today, about what the countryside is for, and what part mechanised versus traditional farming should play in the greater scheme of rural life and traditions. Armed with this knowledgeable, factual and long overdue guide, we may, still, not have the answers, but this life of Jethro Tull, by author George Tull, setting him in his Berkshire context, will at least have given us an understanding of the questions.
