As Professor Don H.Doyle says on the book that: “This is the story of birth and development of a rural American community, from its origins at the turn of the nineteenth century to the years that followed the Civil War. It vividly portrays the sights and sounds of the prairie, the lives of the Indians and pioneers, the relations between farming men and women, and the ways the settlers adjusted to the advent of railroads and commercial agriculture.” Faragher divided Sugar Creek: Life on the Illinois Prairie into five sections. The “Howling Wilderness” examines the dispossession of the Algonquian speaking Indians and settlement of Anglo-Americans on the frontier. “The Country of Plenty to Eat” focuses on the creation of a distinctive rural landscape in Illinois. Social relationships between men and women were discussed in “Lords of the Soil, Tenants of the Hearth” and the community life in the west and the transition to commercial agriculture were described in “All is Changed.” Faragher used the narrative of Robert Pulliam, who was born in Virginia and migrated to Illinois with his parents before settling on Sugar Creek.

Its main purposes are the analysis of statistics collected on the amount of organic food produced, the markets in each region, and trends to be expected in organic production. The statistics collected from 141 countries worldwide form the basis of the data and the International Federation of Organic Agriculture Movements (IFOAM) serves as a credible source of information making this article seem very convincing. These statistics and sources help Willer provide insight into how much land organic farmers take up and where the most popular organic farms exist, being in Africa. The organic food industry itself would serve as a great discussion topic for this class considering the availability and advertisement for organic foods and products in every local

With around one-fifth of America's cattle, cotton, corn and wheat currently being produced from this aquifer's stores, the stakes could indeed be deemed high ("USDA, NRCS, Ogallala Aquifer Initiative", n.d.). The Ogallala Aquifer Initiative (OAI) is a cooperative effort to address overexploitation of the Ogallala Aquifer. Its overall goals are to reduce overconsumption while raising water quality and agricultural sustainability ("USDA, NRCS, Ogallala Aquifer Initiative", n.d.).
