CHAPTER 2:

Old MacDonald had a farm, and when he wanted to retire 15 years ago, his kids were all happy with office jobs in the big city, so he sold it to Robert Hernandez, who isn’t yet old, except in the eyes of teenagers.

Robert Hernandez’s grandparents died from spraying pesticides on another man’s farm. His parents worked hard at crummy service industry jobs so Robert wouldn’t have to work on someone else’s farm.

And now Robert was finding that his own farm, the one he intended as the apotheosis of his grandparents’ striving, was going to kill him.

Not directly -- regardless of what IARC said about glyphosate, his exposure as owner of the farm was low enough that it wasn’t statistically likely to be a problem. And it wasn’t the GMOs -- Robert was skeptical of claims that GMOs were dangerous, although the genetically-altered bipedal livestock he got on discount from a biotech firm that went bankrupt were unsettling to look at and often prone to strange behavior. His mare Fanny was at least only obsessed with Southern Living, and was therefore great to ask to “artfully” arrange the hay bales around the farm.

While Robert wished it was a phase created by reading a copy of Jacobin in Barnes & Noble, his pig Gompers was still going on and on about transitioning society to anarcho-communism and “breaking the capitalist wheel.” Well, at least regarding the Hernandez Farm, Gompers would find the wheel broken if the soybeans didn’t come in significantly over average yield this year.

Robert had not anticipated how, even while doing everything by the book, farming was, as one crop insurance adjuster told him, “the most expensive form of legalized gambling.” Some years he got enough to pay back the seed and fertilizer company loans. Most years, so far, he hadn’t quite, and it was adding up, like his blood pressure.

He had genetically-modified farm animals doing farmhand work now because he couldn’t afford a human workforce. Fanny was the most reliable, and being a horse did the work of several men, but training them up and keeping them from eating the product took time Robert just didn’t have. If this wasn’t a blockbuster season, Robert would have to sell to Old MacDonald’s son, or more accurately, Philip MacDonald & Associates Agricultural Real Estate Trust #5 LLC.

Or he could sell to Hector De la Vega. Which, all things told, might be more humiliating.

Hector De la Vega, whose ancestors farmed the same land granted to them by the Spanish crown in the 17th Century. Who now ran an agritourism operation connected to a certified organic farm that had threatened to sue Robert and many of the other neighboring farmers for “GMO drift” as a prelude to offering to buy them out. That wasn’t Hector’s doing, mind you; he wasn’t a clever or cunning man, although he was good with horses and apparently in growing organic sugar beets. It was his father’s people, lawyers and corporate types executing the grasping, ceaseless greed of Hector’s father, Serafin De la Vega, a soulless man now five years dead but no less able to terrorize this small Texas county. If Robert didn’t trust that Serafin always stayed just on the right side of the law, he’d suspect sabotage on the farm.

But as dopily guileless as Hector was, Robert hated to sell him the farm and let Serafin win from beyond the grave. Maybe it was better to sell to the corporate types, let them reinstitute modern sharecropping but deny a dead man some satisfaction.

But maybe this was Robert’s year. For all their quirks, he was starting to like Fanny and Gompers and the rest, and it would be a tragedy to sell them off to the slaughterhouse. For their sake, he’d press on until the bitter end.
