Linn, Martha: interview, 9/18/2001
Scope and Contents
The Martha Linn interview follows her life chronologically from childhood in town to working woman to marriage and motherhood on an isolated farm. The bulk of the interview describes the Linn family involvement in the NFO during the 1960s and 1970s. In the interview, Linn candidly relates her sense of isolation as a young farm wife. She remains convinced that if the NFO had succeeded in getting farmers control over agricultural prices that small farmers and rural communities would have survived.
