Houses, Not Farms

Anytime the headwinds got too fierce, my father would talk about selling what he owned and moving the farm elsewhere. At a family meeting, his cousins unfurled a subdivision map of the farmland behind our house. A family is no way to own a farm: It makes the land vulnerable to all the things families are vulnerable to.
