This whole thread is a proper refactoring of rural culture at least for 100% products of pure urban culture like me.https://twitter.com/SarahTaber_bww/status/1319633459653070849 …
Even the one time I lived on the urban-rural border in upstate New York, though there were farms all around me, they were pretty much opaque to me. I just lived there and commuted in to Ithaca. I didn’t know any farmers socially or understand what I was looking at driving past.
Used to go on walks, but stopped after one time a farm dog attacked me unprovoked and another time I got lost down a gulch on a solo hike and couldn’t read the paper USGS map (this was before iPhones, and it was the hilly kind of countryside, with farms and woods intermingled)
The thread is good, though it feels like a bit of an overshot, and/or maybe a bit regional. Its's possible I'm projecting my own atypical experience tho.
I mean, it's backed up by historical research & 4H's own publications. Also definitely not regional- 4H was intentionally a national program designed to overcome regionalism, train farm kids to live & vote as a national bloc (largely to counteract national farm labor activism).
Everything Taber puts out is interesting but sounds super lefty conspiratorial
Here's the crazy thing, farm country is largely high on its own supply here. Most farm families have a story about that one female relative who was kooky & into independence, but it's rarely acknowledged as a real national political phenomenon.
No, it’s not, it’s the same axe-grinding personal anecdata that account has been spreading for ages.
