Farming the Home Place by Valerie J. Matsumoto Pdf

In 1919, against a backdrop of a long history of anti-Asian nativism, a handful of Japanese families established Cortez Colony in a bleak pocket of the San Joachin Valley. Valerie Matsumoto chronicles conflicts within the community as well as obstacles from without as the colonists responded to the challenges of settlement, the setbacks of the Great Depression, the hardships of World War II internment, and the opportunities of postwar reconstruction. Tracing the evolution of gender and family roles of members of Cortez as well as their cultural, religious, and educational institutions, she documents the persistence and flexibility of ethnic community and demonstrates its range of meaning from geographic location and web of social relations to state of mind.

Promoting climate-smart farming in sub-Saharan Africa by Pye-Smith, Charlie Pdf

Climate-smart agricultural innovations and policies are helping farmers to increase their resilience in the face of more frequent and adverse weather variabilities. As this booklet shows, projects supported by CTA in Eastern and Southern Africa are assisting pastoralists and smallholder farmers adapt to climate change by adopting a number of important measures. Access to accurate, geo-referenced weather information and agronomic tips is leading to better decision-making. The planting of drought-tolerant varieties of staple crops is increasing yields and incomes. Index-based insurance is helping farmers to survive droughts and other weather shocks. These projects show that climate-smart strategies can raise agricultural production and improve living standards.

Unbuttoned by Grace Vanderzande Pdf

We all have childhood dreams in life. Grace wanted to be a writer. Her partner, who she refers to as My Hero, had another dream. Unbeknownst to her his dream was to own and run his own farm. As it often happens, love had her plunge into his dream. Opportunity knocked and they jumped in with both feet and blinders on. Farming is the most frustrating and rewarding experience a person can do. Eventually, after never ending unpredictable highs and lows, mixed with lots of tears tightly woven with laughter, Grace did what she needed to do to get through. She started writing short stories on a blog named Buttons Thoughts. Sharing them with others with her quirky sense of humour became her coping mechanism. The simple things in her life became hugely important. She gravitated to writing with a mix of whimsy in very real situations. The pain and frustration finally overtaken by the brighter sides of once crippling events. She embraced the beauty of every season. Nature became her best friend. That was her saving grace. Those stories have been shared over and over, believing that people should not hide their fears or their joys. This book is a compilation of some of those stories. Their dreams happened to come true with hard work and the love and support of each other. What could be better than that?

Casting the Other by Barbara Czarniawska,Heather Hopfl Pdf

Casting the Other: Maintaining Gender Inequalities in the Workplace focuses on the production and maintenance of gender inequalities in organizations. By emphasizing 'difference' as something to be managed many organizations institute the 'problem of difference', and while orgainzations pay lip-service to ideas of equality, their day-to-day practices may be unchanged and unchallenged. Discrimination of various groups such as women, immigrants and older people continues and its dynamics remain unclear, largely because of the difficulties of studying it in the field. Additionally, various programs aimed at removing inequality, such as gender equality of managing diversity programs, may actually promote it by making differences visible and stabilizing them. Management, under these circumstances, comes to refer to the management of appearances which take the place of more radical acts to change the 'status quo'.

Farming in Carroll County by Lyndi McNulty Pdf

Carroll County's road signs are a testament to the farm families who settled here. Bollinger, Hoff, Roop, Baugher, Royer, Bushey, and many more are road names that honor those who have produced food for themselves and the nation in times of peace, war, and the Great Depression. In 1917, when the first county agricultural agent arrived, 96.6 percent of the land was held in 3,384 farms. By 1926, Carroll County, Maryland, led the state in corn, swine, and poultry production. It was second in dairy and beef, and it was the world leader in wormseed oil production. A prominent feature of Carroll County's landscape has always been the red barns, and they still are today. The photographs in this book were collected from farm families and historical organizations, portraying a unique insider's view of the history of farm life in Carroll County.

The Buccaneer Farmer by Harold Bindloss Pdf

A pair of families that reside in close proximity to one another in the English countryside may diverge in their values and beliefs, but they wind up forming a close alliance against all odds. The Askews are humble but ambitious farmers, while the Osborns are once-genteel folks who seem determined to squander what's left of their family fortune. What could possibly bring them together?
