In terms of style, the grounding can be called Goetheanistic in the best sense. That is to say, it is not abstract-logical and systematic, but orients itself by the phenomenon. The biography of the author is a life *for* and *with* the biodynamic impulse. The concrete working-experiences and the foundational thought-discoveries belong together. The life that has been lived is the weaving of both into one another, and the present work remains faithful to this language of life. Concrete practical experiences — whether in the field, in the barn, or at a working meeting — and archetypal-phenomenal formulations about soil, domestic animals, or collaboration stand close to one another. This is intentional. The style can be described as 'real-ideal.' And it is the carrying-out of what Manfred Klett calls, in his title, *the art of farming*. The real does not lose itself atomistically in the particulars of data and facts, nor does the ideal lose itself in the abstractness of the general; they seek each other out and fertilize each other into a higher unity — this art may rightly be called the art of farming.
