Book Description
As part of the Rural Stress Survival Series, "Honey, I Shrunk The Farm" was written for farm families, counselors, medical professionals, clergymen and rural community leaders. The book furthers Dr. Farmer's reputation as a nationally syndicated newspaper and magazine columnist and popular radio personality on farm family mental health issues. One dollar from the proceeds of each book sale will be donated to the MeritCare Foundation in Fargo. MeritCare Foundation will reinvest the donations from these books into Dr. Farmer's retreats for farmers and their families."Consider this. From Montana and North Dakota on the north, to Texas and New Mexico in the south, between the Rockies on the west and the tall grass prairies in the east, is the area known as the Great Plains. Though encompassing a 6th of the land mass of the contiguous United States, it is home to only 6.5 million people or about 1/40th of the US population. There is a reason for that. It has the hottest summers, coldest winters, largest daily and weekly temperature swings, strongest inland winds, most severe droughts and paralyzing blizzards, the worst hailstroms and most locusts. Though it can be tremendously productive, its fragile ecology is fickle and often drives people from the land. The loss of people spurs a vicious cycle of an ever-shrinking economy which in turn pressures further out-migration. Consequently, there are fewer and fewer people to volunteer their time to community functions which are the heart and soul of rural life." - Dr. Val Farmer
