Breaking Hard Ground: Stories of the Minnesota Farm Advocates

by Dianna Hunter

Book Overview

From 1964 through 1982, Minnesota lost nearly a third of its farms; in response to this crisis the Minnesota Farm Advocates was formed, to educate farm families and empower them to become their own advocates. In this unprecedented gathering of 30 oral histories, farmers, politicians, lawyers, and administrators come together to paint a strong, often heart-breaking, but ultimately hopeful picture of America's embattled heartland.
