What he says makes sense - I've always just thought of technology replacing physical work and mass production replacing quality as separate things. But it really is mass production technology replacing someone and the quality this person (human or animal) brings into the community. Precious find in a (for my pagan self) weirdly Christian-leaning publication. One more reminder that labels are for idiots and wisdom has to be accepted from any source.
Afterthought: has he written anything about his work with horses? I'd like to check it out.
You might check out his Farming: a Handbook. I think he goes into it a bit there, although I'd say it's more philosophical than anything.
He's written some really good stuff; if that resonates with you then you should pick up his book of essays. A lot of my caution for technology and accelerated civilization comes from his ideas of keeping track of what's really important in life. He writes a lot just about his place and the people who live there.
