Ron Jager, the author of "The Fate of Family Farming" says the family farm used to be the economic backbone of the nation, but is no longer. Nevertheless, the concept remains a powerful idea and an icon of American values. Ron talks about the past, present and future of the family farm and about some local farms that are surviving and thriving.
