Excerpt from New American Farm Book This work was originally written by Richard L. Allen, then one of the editors of the "American Agriculturist." It was published in the year 1846, the first and only complete work of kindred character in this country, down to that time. It was an able compilation of valuable matter, some portions of it then existing in various miscellaneous publications of the day, crystalized, and brought into available shape, through the industry of its experienced author. The volume - then among the best agricultural books of the day, and upon subjects less investigated and studied than now - had a wide circulation, and met with general approval by those competent to judge of the topics on which it treated. It was a work of ability, of laborious research, and study; but, like similar books in a rapidly progressive age, has had its day.

An examination of Latino/a immigrant farmers as they transition from farmworkers to farm owners that offers a new perspective on racial inequity and sustainable farming. Although the majority of farms in the United States have US-born owners who identify as white, a growing number of new farmers are immigrants, many of them from Mexico, who originally came to the United States looking for work in agriculture. In The New American Farmer, Laura-Anne Minkoff-Zern explores the experiences of Latino/a immigrant farmers as they transition from farmworkers to farm owners, offering a new perspective on racial inequity and sustainable farming. She finds that many of these new farmers rely on farming practices from their home countries—including growing multiple crops simultaneously, using integrated pest management, maintaining small-scale production, and employing family labor—most of which are considered alternative farming techniques in the United States. Drawing on extensive interviews with farmers and organizers, Minkoff-Zern describes the social, economic, and political barriers immigrant farmers must overcome, from navigating USDA bureaucracy to racialized exclusion from opportunities. She discusses, among other topics, the history of discrimination against farm laborers in the United States; the invisibility of Latino/a farmers to government and universities; new farmers' sense of agrarian and racial identity; and the future of the agrarian class system. Minkoff-Zern argues that immigrant farmers, with their knowledge and experience of alternative farming practices, are—despite a range of challenges—actively and substantially contributing to the movement for an ecological and sustainable food system. Scholars and food activists should take notice.
