  • Ten Legal Issues for Farm Stay Operators
    The National Agricultural Law Center The nation’s leading source for agricultural and food law research & information NationalAgLawCenter.org | [email protected] Factsheet Series: 2020 Ten Legal Issues for Farm Stay Operators Peggy Kirk Hall This material is based upon Associate Professor work supported by the Ohio State University Extension National Agricultural Library, Agricultural Abigail Wood Research Service, U.S. Research Assistant, OSU Agricultural & Resource Law Program Department of Agriculture Imagine waking up on a farm—to countryside views, open space, and farm activities—and you’ve envisioned a “farm stay.” A farm stay offers people an escape to the country and provides urban individuals an opportunity to experience a rural lifestyle and gain a glimpse inside life on a farm. The farm stay is part of a growing trend in “agritourism” that involves family farmers using their land, food supply, and livestock to attract guests to the farm.1 For farm and ranch owners, offering a farm stay accommodation can generate a new stream of revenue. Many farmers and ranchers appear to be recognizing and capitalizing on this financial opportunity. While lagging behind many European countries, the U.S. now has a national non-profit trade association that connects potential guests to accredited farm stay operators through on online booking platform, the U.S. Farm Stay Association.2 The association currently has 121 accredited farm stay operators across the country and reports that there are about 1,500 additional working farms and ranches in the U.S. that offer lodging, a doubling since the association began in 2010.3 In 2018, there were approximately 57,000 listings on the popular Airbnb website that the company identified as “rural,” bringing in about $316 million to the “rural” hosts,4 and Airbnb added a more specific “farm stay” category to its listings a year ago.

  • Dangerously Free: Outlaws and Nation-Making in Literature of the Indian Territory
    DANGEROUSLY FREE: OUTLAWS AND NATION-MAKING IN LITERATURE OF THE INDIAN TERRITORY by Jenna Hunnef A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Graduate Department of English University of Toronto © Copyright by Jenna Hunnef 2016 Dangerously Free: Outlaws and Nation-Making in Literature of the Indian Territory Jenna Hunnef Doctor of Philosophy Department of English University of Toronto 2016 Abstract In this dissertation, I examine how literary representations of outlaws and outlawry have contributed to the shaping of national identity in the United States. I analyze a series of texts set in the former Indian Territory (now part of the state of Oklahoma) for traces of what I call “outlaw rhetorics,” that is, the political expression in literature of marginalized realities and competing visions of nationhood. Outlaw rhetorics elicit new ways to think the nation differently—to imagine the nation otherwise; as such, I demonstrate that outlaw narratives are as capable of challenging the nation’s claims to territorial or imaginative title as they are of asserting them. Borrowing from Abenaki scholar Lisa Brooks’s definition of “nation” as “the multifaceted, lived experience of families who gather in particular places,” this dissertation draws an analogous relationship between outlaws and domestic spaces wherein they are both considered simultaneously exempt from and constitutive of civic life. In the same way that the outlaw’s alternately celebrated and marginal status endows him or her with the power to support and eschew the stories a nation tells about itself, so the liminality and centrality of domestic life have proven effective as a means of consolidating and dissenting from the status quo of the nation-state.

    2021 ADVENTURE VACATION GUIDE CODY YELLOWSTONE ADVENTURE VACATION GUIDE 3 WELCOME TO THE GREAT AMERICAN ADVENTURE. The West isn’t just a direction. It’s not just a mark on a map or a point on a compass. The West is our heritage and our soul. It’s our parents and our grandparents. It’s the explorers and trailblazers and outlaws who came before us. And the proud people who were here before them. It’s the adventurous spirit that forged the American character. It’s wide-open spaces that dare us to dream audacious dreams. And grand mountains that make us feel smaller and bigger all at the same time. It’s a thump in your chest the first time you stand face to face with a buffalo. And a swelling of pride that a place like this still exists. It’s everything great about America. And it still flows through our veins. Some people say it’s vanishing. But we say it never will. It will live as long as there are people who still live by its code and safeguard its wonders. It will live as long as there are places like Yellowstone and towns like Cody, Wyoming. Because we are blood brothers, Yellowstone and Cody. One and the same. This is where the Great American Adventure calls home. And if you listen closely, you can hear it calling you. 4 CODYYELLOWSTONE.ORG CODY YELLOWSTONE ADVENTURE VACATION GUIDE 5 William F. “Buffalo Bill” Cody with eight Native American members of the cast of Buffalo Bill’s Wild West Show, HISTORY ca.
