Review "A must-read for all women AND men in agriculture."- Krysta Harden, Former U.S. Deputy Secretary of Agriculture"Shelby hit the mark with this book. As women in a world where we are generally not at the forefront, as she put it, our stories matter. There is magic in bringing together kindred spirits over shared experiences and this book does just that. Id encourage anyone, farm connected or not, to give this a read. In it youll find laughter, connection, and most importantly a community of women who are the backbone of rural America."- Marji Guyler-Alaniz, Founder of FarmHer Details ISBN Author Betsy King-McDonald Pages 212 Publisher Midwinter Press Year 2023 ISBN-13 9798218279479 Format Paperback Publication Date 2023-11-15 Imprint Midwinter Press Subtitle Wit & Wisdom for the Modern Female Farmer & her Farm-Curious Friends Edited by Betsy King-McDonald Audience General We've got this At The Nile, if you're looking for it, we've got it.
