Program Puts 'City Kids' on Farms Denver teenagers get taste of life in rural Colorado By Mark H. Hunter Special to The Denver Post April 24, 2002 - MONTE VISTA - The next time Bear Creek High School senior Jessica Newcomer goes to the grocery store, she'll know where some of the vegetables came from - because she helped plant them. So will Todd Carr, Derek Fankell, and 27 of their "big city" classmates who recently spent 10 days living and working on Colorado farms or ranches. The cross-cultural program, sponsored by the Colorado Farm Bureau and the Lakewood-area high school, gives students a new appreciation of what it takes to put food on America's dinner tables. Derek Fankell (center), Todd Carr (right) and 27 of their "big city" classmates recently spent 10 days living and working on Colorado farms and ranches. "Senior Field Studies is among a growing list of "Ag in the Classroom' programs which educate students of all ages about agriculture," said Angela Ryden, chair of the Farm Bureau's Women's Committee. "We want them to understand the issues important to rural Coloradans, and that we take pride in producing a safe, plentiful and inexpensive food supply."

agrarian adj of or relating to fields or lands or their tenure of, relating to, or characteristic of the farmer or his interests. :This site is named after Jefferson's belief in agrarian ideology, also called agricultural exceptionalism. This is a belief that producing food is both a necessity for a civilization and a superior way of life. Thomas Jefferson was a leading agrarian in the U.S. and he argued that a nation of family farmers was the best guarantee of democracy. According to Jefferson, agriculture is the most basic and important industry, rural life is superior to urban life, and having self-sufficient family farmers was a guarantee of democracy using the same technology, thousands of family farms, each of roughly equal size, would have common interests in preserving private property and democracy: -quoted from the coursework of Phillip L. Martin, author of Promises to Keep Although the structure and demographic of the United States has rapidly steered away from an emphasis on producing food under this self-sustained family farm ideal Jefferson talks about, the system is still something to strive toward. The family unit is integral to shaping the minds of the children who are tomorrow's adults, a self-sufficient nuclear family is a child's first insight into society. The family is a microcosm of the real world. The coping mechanisms and support structure that develop in the family is a very important beginning, and continuance of the future generation. In a sense it is the guarantee of democracy Jefferson was talking about. The fate of future leaders is in the hands of parents.
