Abstract
There are fewer distinctions between men's and women's work among farm families. Patterns of farm work and who does what vary from region to region. Excerpts from a 19th-century diary reflect the importance of church and social support in reducing the distance between farm neighbors. Unlike urban areas, education in farming communities is seasonal with boys typically attending in the winter and girls going for a period in the summer when the tasks assigned to them are less demanding.
