About This Item
From the Author's Note: The story that follows is based on detailed notes I kept in forty-two spiral notebooks during most of a year spent visiting and working on a family farm in central Missouri. Events and dialogue are authentic. Nothing is made up except names, including some place names, to protect the privacy of people generous enough to allow thie intimate intrusion into their lives. I think the world of them, as they know, and thank them here again for their cooperation and their friendship.
Richly textured and deeply moving, Farm chronicles a year in the life of Tom and Sally Bauer of Crevecoeur County, Missouri, who cultivate nearly two square miles of the surface of the earth. They struggle to build up their farm, harvesting corn, birthing calves, planting wheat, coping with the vagaries of nature and government regulations. Required of them are ancient skills (an attunement to the weather, animals, crops, and land) as well as a mastery of modern technology, from high-tech machinery to genetics and sophisticated chemicals.
This copy has slight creases on the front cover, otherwise in very good condition.
