The Other Side of the Story Growing up, I didnt have the best relationship with my Father. Its ironic to mehow writing this book came about. When I was a child, I couldnt see, in my little eyes the love my father had for his children. I could only see a Father that wanted to keep us from life. Listening to his side of the story helps me to realize that it wasnt life that he was keeping us from but the world and worldly things. My Father wasnt much of a talker back then, as a matter of fact, there was very little talk, especially when it came to who he was and what he had done in life. Writing his story gave me a lot of information and answers to questions I had. The whywhatwherewhenand how was answered and explained. One of the things I admired most of his story was howif he could do it againhe would do some of the things he done differently. He saw/sees his mistakes. We all have those moments where we wished we could turn back the hands of time. Most of all, what I like about his story iswhere he gave his life to the Lord. I see old men on the street daily. I thinkthat could have been my Father. How I am grateful that my Father accepted Jesus and his Lord and Savior. I now understand in my big eyes my Father might not have been this or that but he was the main thingA FATHER. Im proud of my Father and Mother and Im blessed to have had BOTH of them in my life.

A Book of the Month for GQ, The New Yorker, and Flavorwire "Beautifully told...In this one season of life, Crawford's writing about the work, people, nature and his family legacy reveals much about a simple life, and reminds us all to appreciate life's riches."—Seattle Post Intelligencer "A must-read..."—Washington Independent Review of Books An intimate, gorgeously observed memoir about family and farming that forms a powerful lesson in the hard-earned risks that make life worth living The summer he was thirty-one, Arlo Crawford returned home for the summer harvest at New Morning Farm—seventy-five acres tucked in a hollow in south-central Pennsylvania where his parents had been growing organic vegetables for almost forty years. Like many summers before, Arlo returned to the family farm's familiar rhythms—rise, eat, bend, pick, sort, sweat, sleep. But this time he was also there to change his direction, like his father years ago. In the 1970s, well before the explosion of the farm-to-table and slow food movement, Arlo's father, Jim, left behind law school and Vietnam, and decided to give farming a try. Arlo's return also prompts a reexamination of a past tragedy: the murder of a neighboring farmer twenty years before. A chronicle of one full season on a farm, with all its small triumphs and inevitable setbacks, A Farm Dies Once a Year is a meditation on work—the true nature of it, and on taking pride in it—and a son's reckoning with a father's legacy. Above all, it is a striking portrait of how one man builds, sows, and harvests his way into a new understanding of the risks necessary to a life well-lived.

With very few people engaged in agriculture today, it is no surprise that most Americans have little understanding of the challenges that modern farmers face. This book provides readers a glimpse into life on a modern Missouri farm where a variety of grains, grass seed, corn, and cattle are produced. All of the conversations, events, and descriptions are drawn from the author’s experience working alongside and observing this father and son family farm operation during the course of a year. Farming today is technologically complex and requires a broad set of skills that range from soil conservation, animal husbandry, and mechanics to knowledge of financial markets and computer technology. The focus on skills, in addition to the size of the financial risks, and the number of unexpected challenges along the way provides readers with a new perspective and appreciation for modern farm life.
