Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the beginning of the twentieth century to World War II, farm wife May Lyford Davis kept a daily chronicle that today offers a window into a way of life that has all but disappeared. May and her husband Elmo lived through two decades of prosperity, the Great Depression, and two World Wars in their Midwestern farming community. Like many women of her time, Davis kept diaries that captured the everyday events of the family farm; she also kept meticulous farming accounts. In doing so, she left an extraordinary record that reflects not only her own experiences but also the history of early twentieth-century American agriculture. May and Elmo’s story, engagingly told by Carrie A. Meyer, showcases the large-scale evolution of agriculture from horses to automobile and tractors, a surprisingly vibrant family and community life, and the business of commercial farming. Details such as what items were bought and sold, what was planted and harvested, the temperature and rainfall, births and deaths, and the direction of the wind are gathered to reveal a rich picture of a world shared by many small farmers. With sustainable and small-scale farming again on the rise in the United States, Days on the Family Farm resonates with both the profound and mundane aspects of rural life—past and present—in the Midwest. Carrie A. Meyer is associate professor of economics at George Mason University.

Book excerpt: Farm Days is a collection of stories and adventures of a Midwestern family farm in the 20th Century. It's a remembrance of a simpler time without distractions of satellite television, personal computers, and cell phones. It's a reflection of a time when working together as a family was essential for accomplishing a day's work, yet experiencing adventures together was commonplace. As you turn the pages of Farm Days, you'll breathe in the sweet smell of freshly-baled hay, glide across an icy pond, cry as favorite pets die, feel the rush of the wind as you soar from the hayloft, and learn lessons that only come with mistakes and experiences. Whether or not you grew up in the country, you'll become a part of this family farm experience through the stories of the Hacke farm. After all, when a meal was served on the family farm, everyone working or visiting was welcome. Pull up a chair!
