The farm in Nebraska homesteaded by my great grandfather was sold about 10 years ago as none in our family continued in the agricultural business. I currently live in Nebraska. Despite that, I knew precious little about the fields of corn and beans, farm machinery, center pivots, feedlots, and the rest of the farming enterprising one constantly sees as one drive around the state. Though this book purports to be the story of one farm family, and though the individuals described are somewhat interesting and, I would imagine, somewhat typical, they chiefly serve as fence posts along which the wider narrative of the details of farming in Nebraska is hung. If you are not interested in those details, I would guess this book would be somewhat of a drag for you. But if you have ever wondered what it is like to combine a field, or what "Roundup Ready" corn is, or what those tags on the ears of cows are, or why do farmers raise so much corn and soybeans as opposed to more edible crops, this is the book for you.
From the very first page of this poetically brilliant work, the reader is drawn into a saga that is at the heart of how civilization came into being. The unsung heroes being farmers, mostly family farms handed down for generation, and it is they who allowed a division of labor so that urban cities could arise in the first place. Presently corporate ownership of land and livestock are but one factor that family farmers must struggle against. Additionally, the onslaught against the blessed land, the very soil of our earth these farmers work to understand and protect, is under attack from pollution, pesticides, a rapidly changing climate, and even fossil fuel pipelines. I am still in the process of reading this gem of literature, and I cannot keep my eyes dry at times so as to continue. As heartbreaking as this saga is, this should be required reading for all thinking Americans, for the death of the family farm is indeed the death of civilization.
Truly a book with educational value and beautiful prose. Living in Wisconsin all my life, I know very little about farming. This book gives me great respect for the complex problems that farmers have always faced. The author has covered the history of American agriculture, as well as technology, world issues, politics etc and their effects on farming today. A most enjoyable book- I highly recommend it!
I ordered this book after hearing author Ted Genoays interviewed about the work on NPR. It was a terrific interview that emphasized the time Genoways spent with the main subjects of the book--farmer families in Nebraska. At the time, it struck me as a better explanation for what was happening in rural America than "Hillbilly Elegy".The content of the book goes way beyond the radio interview in that Genoways includes a lot of the specifics about the botany and chemistry of farming--and there is a ton of details involved in every planting and harvesting decision. Water is also a huge and defining issue discussed at length, and represents a major concern for the future as the central plains aquifer is increasingly drawn down on.The families profiled in "This Blessed Earth" are courageous and dedicated people--well aware of the precariousness of the way of life that they follow. Their stories are reason enough to read this important book.
This work of non-fiction follows a real Nebraska farm family for a year as they balance the complexity of family, farming, technology, and community. It provides in-depth excursions into the historical record that illuminates current policies, practices and politics. Yet most importantly, it provides a connecting point to a life that usually either romanticized, idealized, or criticized. As a college student, I lived through the farm crisis of the 80's and then farmed with my family until being called into ministry. Now I live and work in the suburbs and see this book as a way to bridge divisions as people come to understand issues through the lens of our shared humanity instead of the distortions of partisan politics. As a person who has lived this life, I found myself nodding and laughing and shaking my head at all the right times. If you haven't lived this life, the author will take you head and heart and soul into a whole new way of understanding the reality of rural and small town life in Nebraska. It is a good life...not an easy one for sure...but always full of optimism for the next year.
It is all too easy for folks to go to the market or eat their food without thought of its origin. This book gives one a clear path of the hard work and all the external forces that can make or break our ever-day farmer. Ted Genoways has done an excellent job of the joys and frequent hardships encountered by a smaller family run farm in his home state. His personal family farming connection (which surfaces throughout the story) fits well without detracting from the main theme. Well worth the read.
a good history of farm policy and what farmers have to put up with govt. policy and all the strict rules he/she has to follow,its crazy. with new advances of machines it made work easier but the computers,banks,marketing.laws,costs and the low selling price its insane. and i thought my dad had a hard farming life,labor wise yes but there was very little pressure compared to today. ted genoways,by spending a year with a farm family in s.e. nebraska,he gives us a better understanding of how hard it is for farmers to grow our food.
