New American Farmer Is Still An Individualist
A detailed profile of modern farmers showing ongoing individualism and hard work. It contrasts a Kansas wheat farmer with 2,000 acres and a Nebraska 800-acre grower, noting long days, labor scarcity, and rising mechanization. A southern Kansas rancher blends cash-poor beginnings with drive for exotic cattle, driftwood sales, and oil wildcatting. The piece surveys embryo transfer, watershed farming, battery cages, and other tech advances as evolving stages in American farming.
