Reflections on rural political influence and changing communities
The piece argues farm consolidation and urban population growth erode rural clout in politics. It cites Meany and AFL-CIO, notes Polk County's weak state representation, laments the end of the independent weekly newspaper era, and stresses stewardship of the earth amid rapid change. It ends with a call to question ambition and consider future consequences.
