hydraulic levers, gearshifts,
throttles, gauges, and
pedals. From it, I, a mere
woman, can maneuver with
the power of several dozen
horses and perform tasks
that were once just an ag
engmeer’s dream.
In the confines of this
throne I can survey a mini
kingdom of rolling contoured
fields of green and brown,
contented Holstems resting
in the shade of the pasture
while the heifers wade at the
edge of the pond, the giant
cluster of Norway maples
that envelopes the house and
the shining silver of the sun
on the barn roof.
Behind my throne, the disc
turns dead and shredded
corn stubble under fresh
brown earth to prepare for
another season of waving
held
corn fields. Occasionally, the
daydreaming is' interrupted
by a diplomatic corps of
visitors, seagulls descending
from the blue skies of May to
squabble in the machinery’s
wake of freshly dug worms
and insects.
Ruling monarchs are
welcome to wrestle with
matters of state, trade pacts,
military maneuvers, civil
unrest, territorial visits and
legislative affairs that ac
company their birthright to
the throne.
I’d much rather share in
the rewarding stewardship
of the kingdom of soil and
seed, planting and harvest,
fresh air, sunshine and
warm ram, and of the
production of that most
precious essence of life; food
for a hungry world.
