My mother-in-law's family has deep roots in eastern Virginia: she grew up on a large plantation in Prince George County, and one of her ancestors once owned Smith's Fort Plantation. When we were in that area for a family reunion recently we enjoyed seeing her oldest brother's renovated farmhouse on the edge of vast cornfields. He's not living there yet, so it is gorgeously open and sparse and full of light.
The agriculture in that region is staggering: enormous fields of corn, soybeans, and peanuts....
...and then the occasional darling little lot of cows.
