Any Damn Fool Can Be a Farmer - What was it like to live, work, and play on a small dairy farm during the Great Depression? Here's a firsthand account from a farm boy who would later travel the world, but who never forgot his childhood years on the family farm in Janesville, Wisconsin. Join the author as he relives the daily challenges and joys of farming life, and remembers how technological advancements like - milking machines, threshers, and indoor plumbing! - changed the way his and other farming families lived. From barnburning fires to blinding blizzards, from Model Ts to pickup trucks, from large family gatherings to quiet nights around a radio, this is an intimate look back at one family's life on the farm.
