Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. 240 pages. Spine faded. Remainder.Recounts how a proper New E ngland preppie became a full-fledged farmer, offering a wise and witty view of the American farm and how it has grown, as well as presenting insights into one farmer's self-education. 15,000 firs t printing. Editorial Reviews From Publishers Weekly With her m aster's degree in agricultural economics, practical farming and r anching experience and four years spent working in agribusiness, Seton was bound to fantasize about having a farm of her own. In t his delightful chronicle of her pursuit of her dream, she rules o ut a pick-your-own operation, but keeps her mind open to other op tions. What kind of crops would she grow? Would she raise sheep? Goats? Cattle? Pigs? Chickens? Turkeys? Visiting farmers and bree ders, collecting information and advice, Seton explores each poss ibility. While her husband leans towards having sheep, she remain s undecided during their search for a small farm in New England. They finally find the ideal place in Connecticut, but then comes the blow. Her husband, a banker, is transferred to Switzerland an d Seton puts her farming aspirations on hold--leaving her the opp ortunity, at least, to pen this charming memoir. Copyright 1993 Reed Business Information, Inc. From Kirkus Reviews Like an adul t playing make-believe, Seton (an agricultural scientist) lovingl y describes the farm she yearns to own--one of those longings in life [that] are dull tugs from somewhere inside you.'' Daughter o f a psychoanalyst and a novelist, Seton grew up in Northampton, M assachusetts, but from childhood on--when her mother became ill w ith the cancer that would kill her a decade later--she found sola ce in handling livestock. Seton found that being with farm animal s--during summers on local farms or during a semester on a Wyomin g ranch--turned the loneliness created by her mother's illness in to a hospitable aloneness.'' Here, she not only concentrates on a nimals and crops she would have on her ideal farm, but also recal ls how she came to farming; her graduate study at Texas A&M; her experiences with different kinds of agriculture; and her jobs in agribusiness. She offers insight into big matters like childhood, as well as into small matters such as why farmers rely on chemic als (the chemical companies give them a new kind of stature''), a nd she casts forthright opinions on the bloated USDA (agriculture is the fat and unhappy adolescent, whose parents, wishing their child had turned out otherwise, pitch him more food to keep him a t least hushed''); on chemicals; on consumer attitudes toward agr iculture, and on organic farmers. The author's farm would be home to cattle, pigs, goats, sheep, ducks, and chickens, big enough f or them all but small enough to take care of--and it also would b e a place where her husband could grow flowers and vegetables, es pecially parsnips for her beloved father. Seton and her husband e ventually found the perfect farm, but her husband, a banker, was transferred to Zurich, and the dream has had to be deferred. A be guiling love letter to farms and farmers--from a woman of refresh ingly independent thought who shares her unusual love in prose as rich in information as in style. -- Copyright ®1993, Kirkus Asso ciates, LP.
