TRACTOR book - Red cover

$29.95

This rollicking ride into machine history follows the innovators, entrepreneurs, and hucksters who transformed our world with farm machines of all colors. Starting with the turn-of-the-century visionaries who saw that four wheels and a motor could replace for the horse, the book moves swiftly through key early developments to cover the power farming movement of the latter part of the 20th Century–a time when major manufacturers lagged and independent builders and farmers began creating their own machines with a pencil drawing and a welder.

This hard-cover book is approximately 8" by 10".


** This book is the SAME book as the TRACTOR with the green cover. They just have different covers.

Cranberry Red book
The fourth novel in Jerry Apps's Ames County series, Cranberry Red brings the story into the present, portraying the challenges of agriculture in the twenty-first century.

As the novel opens, Ben Wesley has lost hi job as agricultural agent for Ames County. He is soon hired as a research application specialist for Osborne University, a for-profit institution that has developed "Cranberry Red," a new chemical that promises not only to improve cranberry crop yields but also to endow the fruits with the power to prevent heart disease, reduce brain damage from strokes, and ward off Alzheimer's disease. Ben must promote the new product to cranberry growers in Ames County and beyond, but he worries whether the promised results are credible. Was Cranberry Red rushed to market?

When the chemical does all that the university claims it will do, Ben is relieved...until disturbing side effects emerge. Can he criticize Cranberry Red and safeguard farmers and consumers without losing his job, or will Ben's honesty get him fired while putting his community at risk?

Cranberry Red is a hard cover book containing 312 pages.
