"Sometimes I feel like a jackass in a hailstorm - I just have to stand here and take it. But what the hell - it'll stop hailing sooner or later..." one tirelessly optimistic Midwestern farmer struggling to survive on some of the richest farmland in the world explained. 
This book refutes the common image of the poor as lazy slackers averse to work. In reality, fiercely independent, politically astute, hard-working men and women possessing a wide array of useful skills populate the rural heartland. They struggle to stay afloat in small-town economies that rise and fall on the whims of remote farm policy decisions, a volatile world marketplace, and Mother Nature, who is a fickle, wildly unpredictable business partner.

Winner of a 2015 Pinnacle Book Achievement Award.
