This Blessed Earth: A Year in the Life of an American Family Farm by Ted Genoways

5.0

---

This book is riveting. The picture it paints is one that all citizens should see, and the way things are moving it is important to talk about this topic. I honestly wouldn’t have known about it unless it was picked as One Book and then our terrible governor Pete “P**is Head” Ricketts hadn’t lent refused to sign the proclamation for it saying it was a political hack-job. Pete-y obviously didn’t read it. It’s a factual account of the current state of family farming, and tells the story of one family.

Do yourself a favor, pick this up and educate yourself on current family farming in the Midwest.
