A farmer and his family would work together to keep chicken, pigs, dairy animals and manage their land. It was simple living but the backbone of food supplies for urban areas.

However, industrialization and post-war boom in the US saw many corporation enter the Agriculture business and began factory farming at a scale never seen before.
