Calgary, AB: University of Calgary Press, 2004. Paperback. Very Good. SIGNED - BEST WISHES, HERB on title page; Clean, tight, unmarked; address label partially removed on title page; otherwise spine straight and uncreased; very minimal wear; Schulz gives us an insider's account of the hard-scrabble and often heartless prairie farm politics of the 1950s. Speaking from his intimate, and frequently controversial, involvement in farm politics during a critical decade for prairie agriculture, Schulz argues that the demise of the family farm has not been merely an inevitable side-effect of technology. Many farm families watched their dreams crumble as expected support from trusted politicians failed to materialize. Numerous family farms faded into history, their memory searing as a quaint reminder of what was once a proud tradition.
