In The Most Heartfelt Essays, Hoffbeck Chronicles His Own Family'S Struggle To Hold Onto Their Family Farm And His Personal Struggle In Deciding To Leave Farming For Another Way Of Life.Hoffbeck Also Seeks To Document And Preserve The Commonplace Methods Of Haymaking, Information About Haying That Might Otherwise Be Lost To Posterity.

Using Diaries, Agricultural Guidebooks And Personal Interviews, The Folkways Of Cutting, Raking, And Harvesting Hay Have Been Recorded In These Chapters. In The End, This Book Is Not So Much About Agricultural History As It Is About Family History, Personal Historyhow Farm Families Survive, Even Persevere.
