Abstract | Joe Barnes agreed to speak with us after becoming an effective “gate-keeper,” getting us in contact with many of the other people we interviewed both before and after him during the course of Breaking New Ground's project in 2012. He mentioned that he had an alternative perspective, having grown up in Chicago after his parents moved out of their farming families in Mississippi. He now works for farming co-operatives in Mississippi. This interview is organized around the path his parents took to leave the farm, and his return to it in the 1990s. |
