It would be hard to overstate the impact that the opening of the Erie Canal had on American life and American agriculture. The canal was the first link between New York Harbor and the Great Lakes, and between overseas markets and the growing population in the Midwest. This year, as the Erie Canal celebrates its 200th birthday, we join Steve Werblow, field editor for The Furrow magazine, and Amy Machamer, a seventh-generation farmer whose land borders the canal, for a look at one of the greatest technological achievements of its day.
On Life & Land is produced for John Deere by Bader Rutter and is hosted by David Jones, former editor of John Deere's The Furrow magazine. Recording, mixing and mastering services are provided by RecWest Studio, and our music is by Dale May.
