I spent much of my time from the mid 1980s through the 2000s traveling through the rural southeast. I began as a freelancer and then staff person with the Rural Advancement Fund and then with other farm advocacy organizations and philanthropic foundations. I call this work the Vanishing Culture of Agriculture. This photograph was made in south central Alabama on a self-generated trip to poultry and cattle farms.
