Identity
"My story is titled 'How I Became a Farmer.' It starts with both my grandfathers, who started life as farmers in Iowa. I describe my 4-H club activity in Pennsylvania, my Scattergood School farm experience, and now my stewardship of my century farm in central Iowa. I am the fifth generation in my family to own and manage this land."
