- W2326420186 abstract "Farming is a complicated business and rather unlike most other endeavors because the producer's attention is focused on something that is alive. Growers have little control over market vagaries, and often less influence over laws regarding property and exchange. But it really is the biological mysteries of raising crops and livestock on purpose that perplex farmers the most—past, present, and future. In Lynn A. Nelson's “environmental biography” of Pharsalia, the relative weights of these variables are apparent. Major Thomas Massie, a soldier of the American Revolution and later aide to Virginia Governor Thomas Nelson, Jr., brought his family to the Tye Valley in the 1790s, and then sold 1,400 acres to his son William in 1816. This became Pharsalia. The name recalled a tragedy—where Caesar defeated Pompey in Thessaly, in 48 B.C., dooming the Roman Republic. For William Massey (1795–1862) farming Pharsalia was more or less a continuous ordeal, as the property had been worked, depleted, and eroded before he took ownership. But looking at the property today, with fields gently rolling east from a magnificent backdrop of the Blue Ridge Mountains, one might appreciate why he gambled against such difficult odds." @default.
