FacebookTwitterPinterestLinkedinEmailSebastian County, Dairy Cattle, sheep, hogsIn hindsight, Tia Broderick should have seen her career in agriculture coming. After all, one does not grow up in a family six generations deep in the land and not develop some affinities of their own. Yet it was not until after a stint as a military wife and a spin at selling real estate that she returned to Sebastian County to launch the Farmhouse on Persimmon Hill.

Sevier County, Cattle, poultry, goatsIt has been said growing up in a certain industry is either a strong attractor or a powerful deterrent for staying in that industry long term. For Elizabeth Walker, the pattern was more circular, proving the old adage of taking the girl out of the farm but not the farm out of the girl. “I grew up on a cattle and poultry farm.

FacebookTwitterPinterestLinkedinEmailMany people outside of agriculture might look at the industry and think of people like Jill Edwards as an anomaly. Those closest to her, however, know that she is right where she was meant to be, farming 4,000 acres of rice, soybeans, corn and a smattering of wheat while managing the 400-head cow-calf operation on two separate spreads bookending Conway.

A vintage bumper sticker people of a certain age may remember, especially in the rural reaches of America, succinctly and effectively sums up the importance of agriculture to society. It reads, “If you complain about America’s farmers, don’t talk with your mouth full.”While no truer words may have ever been spoken, the statement actually does not go far enough.

French Hill traded a successful corporate career in the Natural State for the jungles of Washington, D.C., politics, and the ninth-generation Arkansan has made the time count.

6 Generations — White CountyPhotos provided by Dana StewartAs proud as he has been of his family’s multigenerational legacy of farming in White County, David Martin said he never had any expectations of his daughter, Dana Stewart, to carry it on. “It’s hard to maintain our farm family and farm life here,” he said. “I let her make that decision on her own.”Of course, Martin was not exactly hands off when it came to exposing Stewart to farm life, largely out of necessity.
All Grit, No Quit: Multigenerational Farmers Define Toughness, Resiliency

If one were to paint a portrait of optimism beyond all rational argument, it would be of the American farmer or rancher against a backdrop of everything the family owns tied up in land, family and faith. Between sky-high materials costs, vagaries of weather and animal health, a shriveling labor force, and wide swings in commodities prices, there are few professions this side of working a bomb squad that are riskier than being a farmer.
