In the late nineteenth century, small farmers faced increasing economic insecurities. Millions of tenant farmers were stuck in poverty due to the sharecropping system in the South.Farmers in the south weren't the only ones facing difficult times; farmers in the west had to mortgage their property to purchase seeds, fertilizer, and equipment. Farmers who mortgaged their property faced the chances of losing their farms when they were unable to repay their bank loans. Farmers then sought out to find a solution for their condition by going through the Farmers’ Alliance and the

American family farmers produced goods for the global economy; however, after 1870, the depression struck the nation, meaning that the produce families grew for the market and economy would be sold for at a lower price. A family who had contributed themselves to the nation’s economy would find themselves in an event of possibly, and most likely, losing their farm since at that time farming insurance wasn’t available. Ownership of farms were not secure or stable during this time of depression.

Alex, Bill, Carl, and Devon have inherited an organic farm from their father and are interested in restructuring the company to a different business form. The four siblings have no desire to take part in the day-to-day operation of the farm, but they have a cousin named Xavier that is willing to oversee operations. Xavier has been the father’s protégé for the past five years and has fallen in love with farm life. He will continue to manage the operations of the orchard, vegetable gardens, grain fields, trout pounds, poultry operation, as well as the fall corn maze and pumpkin patch that have been a staple in the community for years. The five family members are all

This article written in the Texas Agriculture, a magazine published by the Texas Farm Bureau, is about all the factors impacting farmers that effect their income. Over the past couple years, a combination of things has caused the average Texas farmers income to drop. The primary audience for this article is the farmers in Texas as they are experiencing these issues first hand. The secondary audience would be consumers who have noticed price fluctuations in products at the store and are wondering the reason.

The Pitchfork Ranch is one of the most historic ranches in west Texas. The Pitchfork Ranch has been owned by the same family for more than a century. On December 13, 1883 the Pitchfork Ranch was bought with 52,500 acres of land in west Texas. It was started with 9,750 head of cattle. It’s the only ranch in west Texas that didn’t have to downsize during the Great Depression. Today the Pitchfork Ranch is spread over 162,000 acres in west Texas. It spreads over Dickens and King Counties (Nordyke). This paper will discuss various topics about the Pitchfork Ranch, from the history of it to how they work their horses, cattle, and everyday maintaining the ranch. The Pitchfork Ranch has many different kinds of income. Its main income comes from cattle, but they also have mineral rights to the land and they just recently started drilling oil. They also have 500 acres of farmland which they sale some of the crops but they mainly use it to feed the cattle crop every year. They also have a feedlot at the ranch headquarters. The feedlot is a necessity because they have over 5,000 head of calves every year, and it’s a lot more economical to feed them out on the ranch, instead of selling them for a lower price whenever they’re younger (Ranch). The Pitchfork has been in operation over one hundred years, and it has only been through seven ranch managers. The current ranch manager is Bob Moorehouse, he has been the manager since 1987. “I love this way of life, there is

The author stated how on route 66 there is something new to see on every corner and when you drive on an interstate there are nothing but rode. On an interstate you do not see anything big and beautiful, the only thing you see is a gas station and maybe a hotel. The only time you will really see anything like restaurant is if you turn on an exit ramp a long way away. The Jefferson Highway sits right on a river, after that it is twisty two lane roads that wind through the hills and into the West St. Louis County. As the author said, "It is one gorgeous vista after another." If the Jefferson highway is important to people any other highway may be important as well, referring to Route 66. You would not be able to see those things on an interstate.

The James W. Dalton Highway stretches 441 miles through the Brooks Mountains. Starting just north of Fairbanks and ending just south of the Arctic Sea, the route is frequented by truckers, bringing supplies to oil towns. Coldfoot, Wiseman, and Deadhorse remain the only inhabited places along the road.

The marker would be placed in multiple places along the Overseas Highway in the state parks that border the Overseas Highway.

Throughout the years’ roads have been a huge issue in the El Paso area. There have been many road improvement projects suggested for the eastern part of El Paso county. Many roads have begun to go under construction, but are they fixing the right roads? In the matter of Old Hueco Tanks Road, there are many components missing; there’s pretty much no road to begin with.

Also, according to the same article, at some points when concrete is being poured, citizens who are living on Main Street may not be able to access their homes. This will cause an inconvenience, as most people work during the day, and when they come home from work, they may not be able to access their homes. Next, also according to the article “South Main Street Reconstruction Still in Planning Stages” By Matt Gardner (www.hngnews.com), the planned detour as of right now is from Interstate 94 to Highway 26, to Highway 18. Another option would be to go from Main Street to Madison Street, then heading out Lake Street and to Highway Q. People who lives on Highway Q, Family's are concerned this road will become overly crowded, which will lead to traffic jams and accidents. In addition, there will be no way around Pinnacle Drive and Topel Street. I spoke with Tara Topel, one of the owners of Topel’s Towing and Repair, and asked her some questions. First, I asked, “Do you think that your business will be affected by the Main Street construction project?” Topel replied by saying, “Yes, it most definitely. `We are actually planning on relocating temporarily during the construction.” Next, I asked “Are you worried”, Ms. Topel replied,

1. Jonathan Wacks’ in Pow Wow highway falls on lack of culture knowledge Nature Vs Nurture. we are not born with certain characteristics; we are developing our characteristic as the result of our environment. For example, just imagine in family born a baby, does he already know his history or culture and therefore there is a family who teach a child culture, explains him what is good what is bad. In Pow Wow Highway we can see different opinions and acts between characters. For example, Philbert even though he born in society where Indians were not that much, he had some kind of supernatural visions about Indian ancients and that goes back to Nature. On the other hand, Buddy, grow up in same area as Philbert but did not have a supernatural

Growing up on a small family wheat farm in southwestern Oklahoma, I have experienced the harsh conditions of farming firsthand. The job that used to employ the largest amount of people in the United States has lost the support and the respect of the American people. The Jeffersonian Ideal of a nation of farmers has been tossed aside to be replaced by a nation of white-collar workers. The family farm is under attack and it is not being protected. The family farm can help the United States economically by creating jobs in a time when many cannot afford the food in the stores. The family farm can help prevent the degradation of the environment by creating a mutually beneficial relationship between the people producing the food and nature. The family farm is the answer to many of the tough questions facing the United States today, but these small farms are going bankrupt all too often. The government’s policy on farming is the largest factor in what farms succeed, but simple economics, large corporations, and society as a whole influence the decline in family farms; small changes in these areas will help break up the huge corporate farms, keeping the small family farm afloat.

Family and heritage are very important aspects to human life. To begin, this is what is addressed in the poems,”Freeway 280,” by Lorna Dee Cervantes and Simon Ortiz’s,”Hunger in New York City.” Both poems share a great amount of similarities like the way they address the importance of family and heritage and the message of both poems. They address the importance of family and heritage by using objects or feelings, metaphorically, to express their family or heritage. Not only that, but both poems share the message that a person’s past stays with them no matter where or how far they go. Ultimately, both poems address the importance of family and heritage the same way and also share the same message.
