CZECH FARMERS
Life for the immigrant Czech farmer
bore little resemblance to romantic
visions of the sturdy yeoman tending
picture - book fields of luscious grain
oř watching over herds of fat sheep
and cattle. In reality, it was a hard,
grueling, monotonous life. The
farmer, his wife and all the children
worked from sunup to sundown just
to survive. Most necessities were
grown or made right on the farm. The
family raised one cash crop, usually
cotton or corn. The proceeds for its
sále were spent on items which could
not be grown or manufactured at
home.
It was a life of constant struggle
against the elements. After the crop
was planted the farmer had to contend
with insects which could bring ruin
overnight. A drought could defeat a
year’s labor; a hailstorm could flatten
a field of cotton or corn in minutes.
Andeven after the crop was harvested,
the chances of selling it for an
adequate price were usually quite
poor../A/-/-./.,
Despite the hardships, the
monotony and toil, the Czechs began
their life in Texas as tenant farmers.
After a few years in their adopted
land, almost all of them managed to
acquire their own land, build sturdy
homes and educate their children.
