Who’s going to get the farm? And what are they going to do with it? Will your plans create harmony or strife for your family? Map of My Kingdom, a play written by Iowa poet laureate Mary Swander and commissioned by Practical Farmers of Iowa, deals with the critical issue of land transition. This one-woman show features stories of how farmers and landowners have approached land transition. The sole character in the play is Angela Martin, a lawyer who mediates land transfer disputes. Some of the families in her stories are nearly torn apart by their disagreements; others find rational and peaceful ways to pass on their precious farmland which respect not only the family, but the health of the land into the future.
