  • WHAT IS a FARM? AGRICULTURE, DISCOURSE, and PRODUCING LANDSCAPES in ST ELIZABETH, JAMAICA by Gary R. Schnakenberg a DISSERTATION
    WHAT IS A FARM? AGRICULTURE, DISCOURSE, AND PRODUCING LANDSCAPES IN ST ELIZABETH, JAMAICA By Gary R. Schnakenberg A DISSERTATION Submitted to Michigan State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Geography – Doctor of Philosophy 2013 ABSTRACT WHAT IS A FARM? AGRICULTURE, DISCOURSE, AND PRODUCING LANDSCAPES IN ST. ELIZABETH, JAMAICA By Gary R. Schnakenberg This dissertation research examined the operation of discourses associated with contemporary globalization in producing the agricultural landscape of an area of rural Jamaica. Subject to European colonial domination from the time of Columbus until the 1960s and then as a small island state in an unevenly globalizing world, Jamaica has long been subject to operations of unequal power relationships. Its history as a sugar colony based upon chattel slavery shaped aspects of the society that emerged, and left imprints on the ethnic makeup of the population, orientation of its economy, and beliefs, values, and attitudes of Jamaican people. Many of these are smallholder agriculturalists, a livelihood strategy common in former colonial places. Often ideas, notions, and practices about how farms and farming ‘ought-to-be’ in such places results from the operations and workings of discourse. As advanced by Foucault, ‘discourse’ refers to meanings and knowledge circulated among people and results in practices that in turn produce and re-produce those meanings and knowledge. Discourses define what is right, correct, can be known, and produce ‘the world as it is.’ They also have material effects, in that what it means ‘to farm’ results in a landscape that emerges from those meanings. In Jamaica, meanings of ‘farms’ and ‘farming’ have been shaped by discursive elements of contemporary globalization such as modernity, competition, and individualism.

    HRIZONHHIGHWAYS FEBRUARY • 1951 . THIRTY-FIVE CENTS , l /jJI I\fj Spring has a good press. The poets make much ado about birds, bees, flowers and the sprightliness of the season. They neglect such mundane subjects as spring house cleaning and overlook the melancholy fact that armies with evil intentions march when the snow melts. We hope our only concern is with flowers, bees and birds and things like that. As for spring house cleaning, just open the doors and let the house air out. Why joust with vacuum cleaners and mops when spring beckons? Spring does a good job of beckoning in the desert land. It is our pleasure to show you some panoramas of the desert and desert plateau country when nature's fashion calls for spring dress. We wish we could promise the most colorful spring ever but the effiorescence of spring depends on the rainfall. We have had a darned dry "dry spell" hereabouts, broken only by a good rain in late January. If the rains keep on, then we can predict a real pretty March, April and May, but who the heck is going to be silly enough to try to tell whether it'll rain. Anyway, we'll promise you grand weather. An Arizona spring can't be beat. The weather had better be perfect! Sometime this month a group of wonderfully agile and extremely well paid young men who answer to the roll call of the Cleveland Indians, and another group of even more agile and even better paid young men who form the New York Yankees baseball team arrive in Tucson and Phoenix for spring training, the latter to get ready to defend the World's Championship, the former to try to bring it to Cleveland.

  • The Failure of Early Demonstration Agriculture on 19Th Century Model/Pattern Farms: Lessons for Contemporary Demonstration
    Almost final draft (September 23rd 2019): Text may not be identical to published paper The failure of early demonstration agriculture on 19th Century model/pattern farms: lessons for contemporary demonstration. Rob J.F. Burton Abstract Purpose: Demonstration farming has been an important part of agricultural extension since the first decades of the 20th Century. While Seaman Knapp is often credited with developing demonstration farming, his son acknowledged that the concept has much earlier origins in the 19th Century development of model/pattern farms. However, little is known of these early origins or why early demonstration agriculture failed. This paper addresses this gap. Design/methodology/approach: The methodology involves analysis of out of copy-right historical journal articles, letters, pamphlets, and books recently made available by online services such as Google Books. Findings: The study details how the concept of demonstration farming was developed by agricultural societies of the 18th Century but was not implemented until the early 19th Century with the advent of model/pattern farms. Demonstration activities were run by a variety of different types of private and public farm organisations who sought to improve agriculture through emulation. Enthusiasm for model farms died out by the end of the 19th Century but the failure of model farm demonstration leaves us with lessons for demonstration farming today. Theoretical implications: The study provides new knowledge on the conceptual and historical development of demonstration farming and why it failed to influence change. Practical implications: The study identifies factors that might contribute to the failure of demonstration activities. Originality/value: This is the first study to explore in detail demonstration farming on 19th Century model farms and, methodologically, outlines how free on-line digitised literature can be used to investigate early agricultural education activities.

  • Farming Today
    METHODIST CONFERENCE 2001 REPORTS Farming Today 1. CARE IN CRISIS No one can dispute that many farming families are facing a crisis. This is acute for small upland farmers, or those in the wetlands of the west of Britain. There have been four years of depressed incomes. All aspects of farming have been in recession at the same time. The pictures of the mass culling of herds and disposing of the carcasses have brought home to everyone, rural and urban alike, the pain of farming today. For generations there has been a steady decline in mixed farming and for the past 55 years there has been state support, encouraging farmers to intensify production and to drive down prices. This support comes at a price, the first being increased paper work and the second increased use of technology to replace skilled people working on the land. Demands of shoppers for healthy eating, the demise of local shops and the rise of out-of-town supermarkets have created the need for traceable stock and the attendant bureaucracy. The strength of the pound sterling has meant that British agriculture is at a disadvantage when exporting produce. The combination of BSE, swine fever, and Foot and Mouth Disease with poor weather conditions has brought many farmers and their families to abject despair. A survey by the industry magazine, "Farmer's Weekly" of 128 farmers who saw their livestock slaughtered showed that 6% planned to quit agriculture altogether and more than a third will not be restocking their farms. The average age in the industry is 58 and there is real anxiety because farmers cannot pass on a profitable business to sons or daughters.
