[Trevor Conway]

Hi Hilary,

Thanks for your feedback. No, I didn't want to suggest agriculture in general is a bad thing or mainly harmful. I mainly wanted to focus on the story of wheat and how it proliferated (with some physical cost to humans too).

Thanks,

Trev

Though if your motive for writing the piece is to persuade people that agriculture is harmful, or something along those lines, then I agree with Glenn that poetry probably isn't the right vehicle.
