American farming has driven American life and fed much of the world for three centuries. Often in the words of farmers themselves, here is the story of what grows where and why, of America's primary farming regions east of the Rockies. What was it like "Back then" to be a farmer? What of the plight of the family farm, what of government programs? What shape will American farming take in the next century? This is a fully informed survey of our number-one industry by one of America's premier geographers.

The agriculture industry in North America has been badly misunderstood for many years by Government officials and consumers alike. "The Land That Feeds Us" sets out to correct that grievance and does so very well, with numerous farmers' stories from the major agricultural sectors. Hart's prose is colorful enough to engage the casual young reader and has insights to spare for the professional. This book should generate new (and overdue) respect for the farmer and reform of the systems involved in the production of food and cash crops.
