Abstract
Sutter County’s Century Farmers identifies families with an ongoing legacy of land use in Sutter County. Families that have been farming for 100 years in Sutter County are vital resources in identifying regional themes, historic agricultural developments, and landscape characteristics because Century Farms represent the cultural values that a century of land use and occupation have embodied in rural America. By utilizing community members with long roots in regional infrastructure, Sutter County’s Century Farmers evaluates how Sutter County’s historical agricultural landscape reflects the day-to-day cultural activities of agrarian residents.
