Hailing from small vegetable farms, cattle ranches and grain farms covering thousands of acres, the producers in The New American Farmer, 2nd edition have embraced new approaches to agriculture. They are renewing profits, enhancing environmental stewardship and improving the lives of their families as well as their communities. The second edition builds on our popular first book. We’ve updated many of the profiles originally researched and written in 2000 and added 14 new profiles to represent every state and two U.S. territories. The book now features more than 60 successful farmers and ranchers. View PDF (6694 k).

The profiles in the online version, like the print edition, are divided into four regions. See the left navigation bar to view profiles by region, or to search by state, featured commodities or problems addressed. Or view just the 14 profiles printed since the first edition.
