Grass farming as software metaphor

Bruce Eckel writes that organic grass farmers show us something about software development.

What fascinates me about this is that it's the same old tools, applied differently. The farmer jokes about "being a grass farmer," but by seeing that everything hangs on growing the best grass that you can, I think he has cracked the code of farming.

The point is that you can drive revolutionary ideas by focusing on the most important input. I would add the same is true for driving excellence.
