Abstract:
Bucks County, Pennsylvania, despite being decidedly suburban and contributing minimally to the nation’s overall agricultural production and income, has maintained a community-wide interest in agriculture. This thesis seeks to explore the unique connection between Bucks County and agriculture by profiling three different Bucks County Farmers. In these profiles, I consider many different values, among them family, education, and ethics, to which citizens of Bucks County attach agriculture. I in turn bring to light national concerns involving American industry and food safety.
