Making Hay

Verlyn Klinkenborg · first published 1986 · ISBN 9780394755991

His first published book, a record of learning to farm and living through the seasons in rural Iowa. Klinkenborg writes about the labor of haying, the machinery that fails, the weather that cooperates or doesn't, and the physical knowledge that accumulates through doing the same work over and over. The book is part journal, part meditation on why someone would choose farm work.
