Book Summary  Farming and ranching are among the most traditionally American ways of making a living, but will family farms and ranches survive in the America of the future?  Since World War II, American farms have shrunk from 6 million to 2.5 millions.  Drought, high energy and fertilizer prices, unstable market conditions, skyrocketing interest rates, and competition from foreign crops and cattle have combined to create a crisis in American agriculture. Yet the will to survive is strong.  Born to the Land:  An American Portrait is about a part of America where ranching and farming have long been the economic bone and sinew of the land.
