Publisher Synopsis
"We are undergoing an agricultural crisis which threatens the very existence of the family farm. This ought to cause urban dwellers as much concern as it does their rural neighbors. This book beautifully shows how central the family farm is to our country, our democracy, and our way of life. This is a powerful book." - Senator Paul Wellstone. "I have the greatest pleasure in giving this book a strong recommendation." - John Kenneth Galbraith. "Willard Cochrane is a member of a declining and necessary breed in academe precisely at the moment when his tribe needs to expand." - Wes Jackson, author of New Roots for Agriculture. Read more...
