Kurt Andersen talks to New York Times columnist Verlyn Klinkenborg about the role farms play in our country’s imagination. We talk to farmers who love their orange tractors, hear plays that were performed by Caesar Chavez’s United Farm Workers and talk to a farmer with an MFA who protests the rapid intrusion of subdivisions by plowing tract house floor plans into his barley fields.
