The First American Farm Tractors

This is truly an American story. A story of individuals struggling to achieve a goal espoused by National Leaders, a story of a struggle to find a faster, cheaper and more humane way for farmers to plow their ground. This book presents a glimpse into the long American saga of developing machines to cultivate the land. To the extent possible, the words of the people observing or directly involved in America's development of mechanical cultivation have been used. Many of the images in this book are contemporary to the story being told. This saga starts in the 1830s, and spans several generations of American inventors, and stops at the end of 1916, the start of the final phase in the development of the American farm tractor. 1917 was when America entered the First World War, and was the eve of Henry Ford's entry into the tractor business. Both events significantly advanced the mechanization of American agriculture.

The Future of Food in America (Reforming Food & Family Audio Collection)

Product description With a rising population, should Americans expect to face food shortages? Why can't we buy raw milk, sausage, and eggs? What should our response be to excessive government control of the food supply? And what is the biblical perspective on the humane treatment of animals and sound agricultural practices as it relates to putting food on the table in America? In The Future of Food in America, world-renowned agricultural expert Joel Salatin and farmer Noah Sanders dispel numerous misconceptions surrounding food and offer hopeful and practical solutions to a host of real food challenges that lie ahead for our nation. Offering a Christian response to statist, environmentalist, and evolutionist pessimism, they outline innovative long-term strategies for bolstering America's food supply. 6 audio cds include: Food Emancipation: A Response to the Industrial Food Fraternity and Answer to the Question, ''Why Can t You Buy Raw Milk, Sausage, and Eggs?'' by Joel Salatin Local Food to the Rescue: The Why and How of Local Food As Part of the Answer to Biosecurity, Energy, Integrity, and Humane Husbandry by Joel Salatin Can We Feed the World?

The Grunt Dome A Lighthearted Look Inside the John Deere Classic

The John Deere Classic is a well known, world-class PGA Tour golf tournament. Like its sponsor, the John Deere Company, it is widely respected among its peers for its character and integrity, leading the way in innovation. Through the Birdies for Charity program, this event is responsible for raising more than 80 million dollars in charitable giving... right here in the Quad Cities. And within the confines of the TPC at Deere Run is a not-so-well-known place, one that is home to a select group of self-labeled volunteer misfits who call themselves Grunts. They work tirelessly behind the scenes to insure this tournament goes off without a glitch (whatever that is). They can be found hanging out in their little clubhouse (my word), just off the fourth tee in THE GRUNT DOME (their word). While a completely separate band of working wizards, they are part of a larger group of more than 1800 volunteers, all instrumental in the success of this remarkable event. But the Grunt Dome is more than just a place. It embodies a spirit of dedication, support, and a 'can-do' attitude. The work ethic of these Grunts sets the tone for the passion and perseverance that make this tournament the 'little train that could'. Hop aboard my John Deere Gator as we take a peek inside the ropes to see what makes this place and these people so special.
