American Farming culture and the history of technology

I’m excited to announce that I have a new book published in 2024 entitled "American Farming Culture and the History of Technology" with Routledge Studies in Food, Society and the Environment. It can be ordered here with the "Purchase Book" button below!  The book offers a fresh perspective on the history of agricultural modernization in the U.S. by demonstrating how farmers use technology to form identity as part of rural culture. The book also speaks to many contemporary topics around contemporary agriculture including renewable energy, the organic and sustainable movement, genetically modified organisms (GMOs), and the growth of newer technologies and systems like precision agriculture and hog confinement facilities.  For further details, please check out this podcast where I discuss the major topics covered by the book.
