Rural life and the systems around it

D. C. Savage brings together farm anecdotes, reflections on rural life, and discussion of farm economics to examine the pressures facing independent farmers and ranchers. The stories include a Conestoga, wild cattle, mice, and a farmer taking an idea to Washington, D.C. Alongside these episodes, the book argues for changes to the free-market experience in rural America and expresses skepticism toward large government agencies. Its subject is both practical and civic: the economic conditions of middle-class farming and the values the author associates with the heartland.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Readers interested in rural economics and independent farming
  • Readers curious about critiques of large government agencies and rural policy
  • Readers who enjoy nonfiction combining farm stories with political and economic commentary

Book overview

Combine a healthy dose of skepticism about "well-intentioned big government agencies," mix it with a teaspoon of sage taken from rural life experiences, then throw in a pinch or two of salt from real-world farm economics; now you have the recipe this book is cooking up.

 

Farm stories can be fun again: The Last Conestoga, Finishing Wild Cattle, Moron Mice, Farmer Pitching an Idea in Washington D.C.! With the employ of lighthearted stories and musings, the author tries to shed light on serious ways we could improve the free market experience in rural America. The author attempts to preserve the middle-class farm and, in so doing, hold onto some of the good values archived in the heartland.

 

If you don't want to stand on the sidelines and watch as "the system" asks the last independent American farmers and ranchers to "go now -- and close the big doors on your way out of the barn," please read on and consider encouraging long overdue change.
