    Notes:
    32 pages., via online journal., The phrase in the title is not mine. I am borrowing it here from syndicated columnist and cowboy poet Baxter Black, who borrowed the title of one of his own columns “Growth of Agricultural Ignorance” from the editor of the Delmarva Farmer (a weekly agricultural publication serving the Delaware, Maryland, and Virginia region). In many ways I agree with the term, and believe it is accurate in part to describe American society in the late twentieth century and into the twenty-first. Thus, I would like to take this opportunity to discuss some trends in American agriculture, and for that matter, agricultural history, and some concerns that I have about them. Not all the trends are bad, of course, and perhaps in some ways, at least, American society is less agriculturally ignorant than Black and others suggest.
