Family Farming

Americans decry the decline of family farming but stand by helplessly as industrial agribusiness takes over. The prevailing sentiment is that family farms should survive for important social, ethical, and economic reasons. But will they? This timely book exposes the biases in American farm policies that irrationally encourage expansion, biases evident in federal commodity programs, income tax provisions, and subsidized credit services. Family Farming also exposes internal conflicts, particularly the conflict between the private interests of individual farmers and the public interest in family farming as a whole. It challenges the assumption that bigger is better, critiques the technological basis of modern agriculture, and calls for farming practices that are ethical, economical, and ecologically sound. The alternative policies discussed in this book could yet save the family farm, and the ways and means of saving it are argued here with special urgency. This Bison Books edition includes a new introduction by the author providing a more national perspective, underscoring the repetitive cycles of American agriculture over the decade, and assessing the major policy issues that have dominated agriculture in recent years.

Perfect for me
Color: Two Tone - Black/Grey
I love it. Quality is great and I needed something that would comfortably hold 8 cards/ID's. This is slightly larger than my previous on but that one only held 4-5 cards. So, you know, the more you carry the larger it has to be. This was perfect for me. Oh, and the Magnet is perfect for the money. I love magnet money clips for their ease of use. The letter loosens up after about a week of using cash and allows it to hold many bills securely after that break in period (like good shoes).

Nice small wallet, almost too small, ID pocket not very useful
Color: Two Tone - Cobalt Blue
It looks really nice and well-made, but the ID windowed pocket is too tight to easily get out your ID then you need to use it. No one lets you keep your ID in the wallet, so why bother with a clear window pocket?

Lots of Space for a Small Bag
Colorful and great! All Haven't been without a Coach bag since the early 1970s. I'm usually not fond of the signature bags, but this one is striking. Of course it is well made. The bag has two compartments that are large enough for checkbook & phone. It has 8 card holders, 2 smaller places for business & library cards, a place for folding money, a zipper middle compartment and 3 flat compartments for receipts, notes, etc that are all packed into a cool small bag. It comes with both a crossbody metal strap and a leather wrist strap.dd Often, I've found Coach credit card holders inside their bags are too small for credit cards. This bag has larger cardholders. Overall, I give it an A+.
