The Farm is a 1933 semi-autobiographical novel by Louis Bromfield that traces the life of a family over four generations on an Ohio farm, exploring the decline of agrarian society and the rise of an industrial economy. Critics have praised it as an honest, deeply felt book and an important historical record. The novel follows the MacDougal family in the Western Reserve of Ohio, from the early 19th century when the patriarch, "The Colonel," first claimed the property, to the 1930s with the last owner, Johnny. Bromfield details the family's deep connection to the land and the gradual changes in their lives and the surrounding community. The story ultimately ends with the family selling the farm to a developer, which symbolizes the corrosive effect of an industrial and mercantile economy on the traditional agrarian lifestyle.
