Synopsis
This collection of Gene Logsdon's essays (written between 1980 and 1992 and published in a variety of journals) survey the state of farming in America today. An angry and outspoken critic of agribusiness, the demise of rural communities, and the rape of the land, Logsdon writes in favor of the small-scale family farm, and deplores the emphasis in agricultural programs on technology and large, mechanized farms. He constantly returns to the vital relationship between farming and nature, and interviews organic growers, city gardeners, and Amish farmers. Deeply appreciative of the spiritual benefits of being in touch with the land as a small farmer, Logsdon is a pragmatic and commonsensical writer with an unsentimental view of what a farm should be. With an introduction by the celebrated poet and agrarian Wendell Berry.

Industry Reviews
"[Logsdon] is merciless in his precision-bombing of the colleges of agriculture, mere 'havens for golf-turf science' and for the waste of soil through heavy machinery, toxic chemicals, and erosion. The closing essays are nice appreciations of woodcutters' pleasures and of viewing the acres..., a sturdy blast for the rural life. Good reading."
Kirkus (01/15/1993)
