“Eloquent and detailed...precise and well-thought-out...Read her book — and listen.” — Jane Smiley, The Washington Post. Beth Hoffman was living the good life: she had a successful career as a journalist and professor, a comfortable home in San Francisco, and plenty of close friends and family. Yet in her late 40s, she and her husband decided to leave the big city and move to his family ranch in Iowa—all for the dream of becoming a farmer, to put into practice everything she had learned over decades of reporting on food and agriculture. There was just one problem: money. Half of America's two million farms made less than $300 in 2019. Between rising land costs, ever-more expensive equipment, the growing uncertainty of the climate, and few options for health care, farming today is a risky business. For many, simply staying afloat is a constant struggle. Bet the Farm chronicles this struggle through Beth’s eyes as a beginning farmer. She must contend with her father-in-law, who is reluctant to hand over control of the land. Growing oats is good for the environment but ends up being very bad for the wallet. And finding somewhere, in the midst of COVID-19, to slaughter grass-finished beef is a nightmare. The couple also must balance the books, hoping that farming isn’t a romantic fantasy that takes every cent of their savings. Even with a decent nest egg and access to land, making ends meet at times seems impossible. And Beth knows full well that she is among the privileged. If Beth can’t make it, how can farmers who confront racism, lack access to land, or don’t have other jobs to fall back on? Bet the Farm is a first-hand account of the perils of farming today and a personal exploration of more just and sustainable ways of producing food.

The primary purpose of this study was to determine Arkansas daily newspaper editors' attitudes toward agriculture that might affect their decision to print, or not to print, agricultural news. The study used a web-delivered instrument developed by the researcher. The population of the study consisted of the primary editor of each daily newspaper in Arkansas, as identified by Burrelle's Information Services (1999). Of the editors responding to the questionnaire, 81% were male. The mean reported age was 44.8, with a range of 31-59 years. Most editors lived in a rural area, worked for newspapers that were corporately owned, had 10 or more years experience in journalism, and had considerable experience in writing agricultural news stories. Most were well educated, but had completed only a few college courses in agriculture. Two-thirds of Arkansas' daily newspapers published an agricultural section, but less than one-fourth employed an agricultural reporter. For the most part, editors believed that their readers' interests coincided with their own. Health, food safety, and environmental issues were viewed as the areas of greatest interest. Editors possessed positive attitudes toward the agricultural industry, although they were less positive about the image of agriculture or about agriculture's performance in educating the public about the agricultural industry. Editors agreed that journalists should receive instruction in agriculture and that K-12 students should be required to take at least one course in agriculture. It was recommended that university faculty in journalism and agriculture collaborate to provide a course for students and/or young journalists about agricultural issues, and be encouraged to continue positive, open relationships with journalists to ensure open lines of communication to disseminate information about agricultural issues. Workshops should be conducted for college of agriculture faculty, extension personnel, and university researchers on how to work with, and give appropriate responses to, media representatives.
