Book excerpt: One fateful day in 1996, upon discovering that five freight cars’ worth of glittering corn have reaped a tiny profit of $18.16, young Forrest Pritchard undertakes to save his family’s farm. What ensues—through hilarious encounters with all manner of livestock and colorful local characters—is a crash course in sustainable agriculture. Pritchard’s biggest ally is his renegade father, who initially questions his career choice and eschews organic foods for sugary mainstream fare; but just when the farm starts to turn heads at local markets, his father’s health takes a turn for the worse.With poetry and humor, this timely memoir tugs on the heartstrings and feeds the soul long after the last page is turned.

Book excerpt: The Rhodes Family Farm is a place where generations of family members have worked together to grow crops and raise livestock. When Gramps and granddaughter Dusty discover yellowing corn plants, Rocky the dog runs to get help from Dad. As they wait, Gramps reflects on their ancestors, who first tilled the land, and the progression of farm equipment since. When Dad arrives at the corn field with Rocky, he immediately calls the plant doctor, an agronomist, who analyzes the health of the field using a drone. When the drone suddenly crashes, Rocky saves the day by sniffing out and retrieving it in the field.Once plant food is prescribed and applied, Gramps' thoughts turn to the heritage parade in town. He is sad he won't be driving his vintage Co-op tractor in the parade because it needs a new thingamajig to operate. Dusty solves the problem by creating a new thingamajig with her school's 3-D printer that fixes the tractor!Three generations of the Rhodes family ride a flatbed trailer in the parade, pulled proudly by Gramps in his Co-op tractor, showing how each generation of family farmers solve problems with new ideas and tools to sustain land and animals.

Book excerpt: It's harvest time on the multi-generational Rhodes Family Farm. Dusty hustles off to school aboard Gus the bus, while the rest of the family works in the field with the help of their trusty farm equipment and Rocky, the family dog. When bus driver Babs gets a call that school is closing early due to an approaching snowstorm, she picks up Dusty and her classmates and heads for their homes. But the road gets slick and Gus ends up in the ditch. Meanwhile, back at the farm, something in the air tells Rocky that Dusty and the kids need help. Big Travis arrives and pulls Gus out of the ditch, towing him to the co-op to fix his crooked wheel. At the co-op, the kids warm up and learn about family farms and cooperative businesses. When Gus is fixed, everyone heads to the Rhodes Family Farm. While parents prepare a potluck meal, Gramps and the neighbors surprise everyone by fitting Gus with new snow gear.

With the help of family dog Rocky, and their trusty machines, they move hay, haul feed, set up cameras in the calving barn, and spread straw for the new mama cows and their newborns. Late one night, Rocky senses something isn't right with their prize-winning cow Daisy and goes to investigate. Daisy has given birth to a beautiful calf only to be threatened by a hungry coyote! But the coyote is no match for Daisy, and soon heads for the hills. Rocky arrives to welcome the newborn to the family. After all the cows have calved, the Rhodes family and their neighbors load the cattle into trailers for the trip to their fresh, green pasture for the summer. It's time to celebrate with neighbors and friends.

Book excerpt: The Peterson family farm is one hundred years old and about to enter a new century. Here, in wonderful family anecdotes, the author shares the story of the farm as it grew from a barn and house and granary in the 1890s to a thriving dairy farm in the 1990s. There has been plenty of hard work--sawing down the trees to erect the first buildings, the endless cycle of planting and harvesting, chopping firewood to keep the house warm--but there has also been golf practice on the pasture land, Sunday drives in the family car, and cross-country skiing in the meadows. Over the past hundred years many things on the farm have changed, but many things have stayed the same. There is still one family working together to make the farm a viable business. There is still one kitchen where cookies are baked and meals are cooked to feed family and friends and those who help on the farm. Filled with photos selected from a century's worth of family albums as well as dramatic shots from recent years, this NCSS/CBC Notable Social Studies Trade Book provides a glimpse into the past and the future of one American family farm.
