He was innovative in new and environmentally-sound farming techniques, and his work on Malabar Farm served as inspiration for future farmers. Joe Munroe's career began in 1939 at the Cranbrook Academy of Art. He served in the Air Force during World War II and then joined Cincinnati-based Farm Quarterly magazine.
