false http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1173979100m/349658.jpg 349658 3 <i>Farm</i> lyrically recounts a year in the lives of Tom and Sally Bauer, solid Midwesterners who work the bottomlands of the Missouri River to grow "a harvest few city people could have identified ... the foundation of their diet, the principal food plant of the Western world": corn. The two rise before dawn in all kinds of weather, tending to the hundreds of tasks farmers must master in the face of heavy odds--foreclosures, climbing interest rates, a then-sickening economy, and, always, the uncertainties of the weather and the health of their crops. Richard Rhodes makes it clear that their lives are hard, but the Bauers love to till the soil. Doubtless few urbanites will want to don bib overalls after reading <i>Farm</i>, but anyone who reads the book will appreciate the difficulty of farmers' lives and the courage of those who lead them. 339925 1989 Farm: A Year in the Life of an American Farmer total:11|5:2|4:2|3:7| 11 39 26 3 349658 0803289650 9780803289659 11 3 3.55 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1173979100m/349658.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/349658.Farm_A_Year_in_the_Life_of_an_American_Farmer 3 0 false Sat Nov 01 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Wed Dec 10 13:10:35 -0800 2008 Wed Dec 10 13:31:42 -0800 2008
