I believe in Manifesto the author was trying to convey life in a meaningful sense. It seemed as though there was a comman theme throughout. That was to do what you want do not follow any specific path. Wendell Berry says that best when he talks about the fox on the last couple lines, "Be like the fox/who makes more tracks then necessary,/some in the wrong direction." He really just wants people to do as they wish even if its wrong.
The Making of a Marginal Farm had to do with just making a living on the land. Berry was trying to dipict the life of a farmer from the earlier ages. I think it shows how the environment helps people. Not just how it helps people but the impact it has on peoples memories.
