Excerpt from The Farm Journal and Progressive Farmer, 1857, Vol. 7: Devoted to Agriculture, Horticulture, and Rural Economy There are annually manufactured in the United States shovels, or about 600 dozen per day. They are made entirely in this country, about one third the number in Massachusetts, and nearly all the rest in Pennsylvania. As the shovel is one of the civilizers of the world, the annual demand for that useful article shows how much the people of the United States are contributing by their labor, towards improving the social condition of mankind. At the late Indiana State Fair seven corn mills were tested together. Each mill was made to use eleven feet lever, and to perform twenty revolutions.

"Eloquent and detailed...It's hard to have hope, but the organized observations and plans of Hoffman and people like her give me some. Read her book -- and listen." -- Jane Smiley, The Washington Post In her late 40s, Beth Hoffman decided to upend her comfortable life as a professor and journalist to move to her husband's family ranch in Iowa--all for the dream of becoming a farmer. There was just one problem: money. Half of America's two million farms made less than $300 in 2019, and many struggle just to stay afloat. Bet the Farm chronicles this struggle through Beth's eyes. She must contend with her father-in-law, who is reluctant to hand over control of the land. Growing oats is good for the environment but ends up being very bad for the wallet. And finding somewhere, in the midst of COVID-19, to slaughter grass finished beef is a nightmare. If Beth can't make it, how can farmers who confront racism, lack access to land, or don't have other jobs to fall back on hack it? Bet the Farm is a first-hand account of the perils of farming today and a personal exploration of more just and sustainable ways of producing food.
