A personal story about farming and the future of agriculture

In 1890, Mark Jackson's great-great-great-grandfather bought a plot of land in southern Iowa. Five generations later, Mark is still farming that same land but using some very different techniques. In this moving story that crosses generations, Mark shows us both how radically agriculture has changed since that time, and the ways some things have stayed exactly the same.
