Abstract
Agronomics is a braided collection of short stories that weaves the lives of the people who populate a small town in Northern Indiana Each character struggles with their own definition of rural identity in a place where their place in this society is continuously in question. Beyond entertainment, these stories were written with the intent to provoke thought into what it mean to live in a rural place, how people affect their environment, and what people do as they struggle to maintain and change their identity.
