Crop Yields

Famous quotes containing the words crop and/or yields:

“And, by the way, who estimates the value of the crop which nature yields in the still wilder fields unimproved by man? The crop of English hay is carefully weighed, the moisture calculated, the silicates and the potash; but in all dells and pond-holes in the woods and pastures and swamps grows a rich and various crop only unreaped by man.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

“All the world over, the picturesque yields to the pocketesque.”
—Herman Melville (1819–1891)
