Read the paragraph from "Home Place Retold."

They became merchants, carpenters, teachers, clergy, and (most often) farmers. Their landscape was Watonwan County in western Minnesota. Young families worked hard to build a life. They came from a farming tradition that included methods unknown to many Americans. As usual, new ideas were viewed with some doubt. The use of crop rotation, for example, was common for the newcomers. They also used potassium for fertilizer. Their practices produced better crops than other farms. A good idea is hard to ignore, and they soon gained status as first-rate farmers.
