Rick Hammond grew up on a farm, and for forty years he has raised cattle and crops on his wife's fifth-generation homestead in Nebraska, in hopes of passing it on to their four children. But as the handoff nears, their small family farm--and their entire way of life--are under siege. Beyond the threat posed by rising corporate ownership of land and livestock, the Hammonds are confronted by encroaching pipelines, groundwater depletion, climate change, and shifting trade policies. Add GMOs, pesticides, and fossil fuel pollution to their list of troubles and the question is: can the family farm survive in America?"--Jacket flap. 541 $d 20190105. 650 $a Farmers $x Economic conditions. 650 $a Family farms $z Nebraska $v Case studies. 655 7 $a Case studies. 941 $a 2 952 $l RFPC397 $d 20190621010758.0 952 $l GPPC641 $d 20190322010409.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=C9D358DE4C6711E99DBA2A3597128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
