Farm Hard Work and Hard Lessons from Western New York Fields by Tom Rivers. In a quest to discover why so few local residents work on area farms, a newspaper reporter offers a first-person account of what it's like to perform the hard physical labor farm work requires. He details his experiences working at 13 fruit, vegetable and dairy farms in Western New York, and discovers that farm work involves many skills and strengths. The 168-page book includes 101 pictures.
