Duke of the Plowshare and the rise of modern farming
The article argues farming evolved from servitude to a modern business, powered by mass production and advertising. It contrasts the ancient peon status with the American farmer who, aided by machinery and industry, dominates his domain and feeds the world from landscapes like Idaho potatoes and Kansas wheat. It emphasizes the farmer as a master of his field, aided by industrial channels in a global market.
