In the photographic and literary traditions of Richard Avedon's In the American West and Stud's Terkel's Working, American Farmers celebrated the living spirit of our heartland through the faces and voices of the people who keep it alive. Featuring more than two hundred full-color and black-and-white portraits and forty-five interviews with farmers across the United States - from cattle ranchers to strawberry growers - American Farmers tells the honest and inspiring stories of the true stewards of our land. When photographer Paul Mobley set out to capture the soul of our country's farm communities, he encountered an enduring rural culture that remains rooted in the principles of tradition, family, integrity and hard work. Crisscrossing the country, from Alaska to Florida, Mobley and his camera were welcomed time and again into the homes of hundreds of farm families, many of whom later graciously shared their personal histories and private thoughts with writer Katrina Fried.--DUST JACKET.
