Or maybe a 6,000 acre farm. They are becoming more common even in Iowa. What a good idea for Grant to compare farmworker stories on several farms. Thank you, Ralph. You're right. The average urban American has no idea what farmworkers actually do in this day and age. So excited to have Grant do this documentary work. Please share this piece to your networks.

Thanks for sharing--farmworker stories can inform rural and urban. Urban America still has this rustic, nostalgic view of America farmers on a 160 acre farm, not a several thousand acre farm, using high tech equipment. Grant could compare the farming experience of working a Guatemalan community farm, with farmers like Beth Hoffman, and with several thousand acre farms. A different kind of Thousand Acre story can be told.
