Of a piece with the works of Wendell Berry, Wes Jackson, and other modern back-to-the-landers, Logsdon's last book (he died in May 2016) comprises a set of essays addressed to an imagined young person contemplating a life in the fields. 'There's no such thing as\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003ethe\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/em\u003eAmerican farmer, ' counsels the author at the outset. Instead, there are beet farmers, dairy farmers, flower farmers, marijuana farmers, and even 'moonshine farmers, ' which makes it difficult to categorize all the different kinds of farmers and to subsume them into any meaningful political organization. The point is that because there is so much diversity in farming, anyone with intelligence, gumption, and stick-to-itiveness shouldn't be dissuaded from having a go at it. Of course, there are plenty of reasons not to farm, and Logsdon isn't shy of enumerating the challenges, from the fiscal and physical ones to matters that embrace even the heart: one of his essays concerns how to find a suitable helpmeet out in the sticks, where, as a former seminarian, he discovered 'there were girls peeking out from behind every crossroads stop sign in the county.' Times change, but the struggle continues, one aspect of it the corporatization of farming. Oddly, there Logsdon finds an ally in the chain restaurateur Bob Evans, who encouraged those who would listen to invest in biological over mechanical solutions, saying, 'tractors don't have babies.' Logsdon is encouraging without being Pollyannaish, homespun while also sometimes arch: 'On the occasions when I have had to travel in city traffic, the thought always occurs to me that people who must commute into cities to work spend about as much time just waiting for traffic lights to change as it takes me to write a book.' From raising cattle to organizing markets, there's much value here for every aspiring farmer, whose work requires brains along with brawn.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003eBooklist\u003c\/em\u003e-\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf Logsdon (1932-2016) had his way, the term\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003econtrary farmer\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003ewould have been every bit as familiar as\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003ecountry farmer\u003c\/em\u003e. A learned proponent of 'stay in and stay small' garden farming, Logsdon's outspoken outlook was completely in opposition to the practices and philosophies of corporate agribusiness. Instead of encouraging farmers to 'go big or get out' by adding more property, more machinery, and more debt, Logsdon championed the idea of working on a more personal scale that allows farmers to appreciate nature and honor tradition while still accepting technology and innovation. In this posthumously published book of essays, Logsdon extols the virtues of finding a good mate, praises the pluck and professionalism of women farmers, and enthuses about the health benefits of a day in the barn. Along with other hard-earned advice about hauling livestock, pasturing chickens, and controlling weeds, Logsdon's lifetime of farming wisdom is firmly lodged in common sense. Sagacious and sly, practical and poetic, Logsdon's voice may have been contrarian but it was never condescending.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublishers Weekly-\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLate Ohioan farmer Logsdon (\u003cem\u003eGene Everlasting: A Contrary Farmer's Thoughts on Living Forever\u003c\/em\u003e) sends a meaningful (though poorly titled) message to up-and-coming homestead farmers. Written during the late stages of an illness that would take the author's life in 2016, the book stands as his final assertion and rallying cry against the misguided notion, so prevalent at one time, that farmers needed to 'get big or get out.' The book isn't written in the intimate style of a personal missive as the title suggests; it's more of an essay collection squarely addressing topics such as small-scale economics, pasture farming, raising sheep, and the 'modern plowgirl, ' with practical-minded advice throughout.
