Coming to Ground chronicles the struggles of farmers, government officials, and policymakers as they move away from dependency on the global tobacco and petroleum economies to a more sustainable and sane agricultural economy. Kentucky's farming and food culture has undergone a sea change. Although small farms and farmers continue to disappear, Kentucky ranks #2 in the U.S. for the number of small family farms. Over the last decade there has been an explosion of crop diversity, environmental innovation, sustainable and organic farms, along with sharp growth in farmer's markets, regional infra-structure and agricultural enterprise.
