Unwanted Bread

Farmers talk of their frustrations and opportunities in this personal glimpse into rural life today. Readers will discover insights into the expensive, complicated and often emotional business of farming and ranching. "One way to understand what is happening in farming today is to listen to those who are involved in it," write Green and Coomber. That is what they do, and invite their readers to do, in Unwanted Bread. Here is the story of farming and ranching today as told by farmers and ranchers, along with astute commentators who know the country well. Visually striking, thought-provoking photographs accompany the interviews and essays. "If we could sit down with a farmer over coffee and listen to his or her story," Green and Coomber say, "we'd begin to understand the challenge farmers are facing today." So pour yourself some coffee, and help yourself to Unwanted Bread.
