Jane Smiley is an award-winning novelist; her book "A Thousand Acres" is King Lear updated to 1980's Iowa. Here she reviews "Bet the Farm", describing a couple's return to an Iowa farm owned by her father-in-law. It came out last year. Smiley's review annoys me, but I did put a hold on it with the Fairfax library.
I wonder if there any good books by someone who's been farming their entire life, doing it full time without a sideline providing cash income?
