The Northern Farmer
Author: The Northern Farm
Author: Henry BestonPublisher: Macmillan
ISBN: 0805030921
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 255
Book Description
In the tradition of his well-loved The Outermost House, Henry Beston's Northern Farm captures the elusive magic of a year on a Kennebec farm ... in truly beautiful prose ( Kirkus Reviews ). Among the blue-white shadows and graceful curves of freshly fallen snow, the first rains of spring, and the quiet green of an early summer morning, Beston brings the reader into an inescapable alliance with the natural world. He translates the philosophy of the Maine farmer into terms as applicable in Manhattan as on the Kennebec. One of the great classics of American nature writing, Northern Farm is inspiring reading and ranks as one of Beston's most memorable and lyrical works.

Winter Feeding of Wild Life on Northern Farms (Classic Reprint)

Book Description
Excerpt from Winter Feeding of Wild Life on Northern Farms At present game birds and animals often constitute a liability rather than an asset on farms, since their very presence subjects the farmer to annoying and sometimes destructive trespass by hunters. Where winter concentrations of game birds occur, considerable quan tities of the farmer's crops may be eaten, thereby adding to his loss. It is useless, under such circumstances, to urge farmers to feed game for the implied purpose of furnishing sport to strangers.

Author: Farming the Cutover
Author: Robert J. GoughPublisher:
ISBN:
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 312
Book Description
Farming the Cutover describes the visions and accomplishments of these settlers from their perspective. People of the cutover managed to forge lives relatively independent of market pressures, and for this they were characterized as backward by outsiders and their part of the state was seen as a hideout for organized crime figures. State and federal planners, county agents, and agriculture professors eventually determined that the cutover could be engineered by professional and academic expertise into a Progressive social model and the lives of its inhabitants improved. By 1940, they had begun to implement public policies that discouraged farming, and they eventually decided that the region should be depopulated and the forests replanted. By exploring the history of an eighteen-county region, Robert Gough illustrates the travails of farming in marginal areas. He juxtaposes the social history of the farmers with the opinions and programs of the experts who sought to improve the region. Significantly, what occurred in the Wisconsin cutover anticipated the sweeping changes that transformed American agriculture after World War II.
