WAITSFIELD, VERMONT
Don Joslyn
Don Joslyn raises a few pigs, about 100 sheep and a herd of calves and bulls that he sends down the road about tax time so he can pay the farm bills. His ancestors bought the property in 1858. Their first crops brought in enough to pay off the mortgage by the middle of the Civil War. Don believes family land is sacred and if he has his way, he will die on his family farm. "Selling land is like cutting off your fingers. What do you do then? If I'm going to starve, this is as good as anyplace to starve."

AMIDON, NORTH DAKOTA
