- 2004, Ronald Jager, The Fate of Family Farming: Variations on an American Idea, page 74:
  The poet seems to inwardly adopt as his ancestors all the generations of farmers — good and bad, but mostly bad — who for two hundred years have farmed and misfarmed this region along the Kentucky River.
- 2012, Kevin McIlvoy, The Complete History of New Mexico:
  The stretch of land that Father inherited from his father was misfarmed by every generation for over seventy-five years and was gray, unwilling soil.
- 2019, Emile Lester, Liberalism and Leadership: The Irony of Arthur Schlesinger, Jr., page 106:
  Schlesinger contrasts Morgan's approach unfavorably with the more incentive-based approaches of his RVA codirectors David Lilienthal and H.A. Morgan, neither of whom shared Arthur Morgan's or Roosevelt's passion for using the TVA as a means of social mastery: Where Arthur Morgan would pass a law depriving a farmer of land he has misfarmed, Lilienthal and H. A. Morgan would offer him inducements to use his land more wisely.
