This fine Website from PBS coincides with the broadcast last week over local public television stations of the documentary film of the same name. Examining the settlement and cultivation of the Midwest through the focusing lens of the typical L-shaped farmhouse, the Website uses text, photographs, video, and audio to tell the story of agricultural life in the Midwest from the 1830s to the mid-20th century when agribusiness effectively transformed both the physical and cultural landscape of the prairies. Given that the documentary is based on a book from the Afton Historical Society Press in Minnesota, it is not surprising that the Website has a strong literary flavor with healthy excerpts from writers like Willa Cather and Minnesota writer Bill Holm and video readings of poetry by Robert Bly and Leo Dangel. Also included here are the texts of some articles on sustainable agriculture and the possibilities, albeit perhaps slim, for some sort of renaissance of the small family farm.
