I was nervous starting this book (for a local book club I recently joined) as my family lost the family farm during the 1980s Farm Crisis and I was afraid of the memories the book would conjure. However, such was not the case. In fact, I enjoyed learning about the intricacies of farming in the 21st century, things that were not part of my life 50-70 years ago, when I was growing up on a farm. My, how it is different and infinitely more scary today! I recommend this book for anyone with an agriculture background. ( ) keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen

"The family farm lies at the heart of our national identity, and yet its future is in peril. Rick Hammond grew up on a farm, and for forty years he has raised cattle and crops on his wife's fifth-generation homestead in Nebraska, in hopes of passing it on to their four children. But as the handoff nears, their small family farm--and their entire way of life--are under siege. Beyond the threat posed by rising corporate ownership of land and livestock, the Hammonds are confronted by encroaching pipelines, groundwater depletion, climate change, and shifting trade policies. Add GMOs, pesticides, and fossil fuel pollution to their list of troubles and the question is: can the family farm survive in America?"--Jacket flap. Keine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden. |
