Look for our full page ads in United Caprine News and Dairy Goat Journal in 2003! Here are the details of the new book: Just The Greatest Life! New Book! by Schafer (autographed by author) Just the Greatest Life is a pure, inspiring treasure. I am happy to report that America's answer to Herriot is alive and well in Missouri. I read it beginning to end the way one reads a Tom Clancy novel. It shows us all that it's all still possible; living a simpler, lighter life on the land. Schafer captures the essence of a life gone real. " - Fossel, former editor, The Country Journal " What a pleasure ! The writing is excellent. The stories are wonderful. The style of using personal experiences as vehicles to convey a larger message is most effective. This book should be read by every commercial farmer in the country as well as those who have little contact with the countryside. It is one of the best explanations of what is happening in technical agriculture I have seen and at the same time, a heart-warming sharing of experiences. " - Larry Harper, editor emeritus, Missouri Ruralist " Schafer shows that farmers can reap a lifestyle rich in intimate and satisfying relationships with people, animals and the land. " Craig Cramer, former editor New Farm " Schafer writes very well...the telling is engaging, lively and well-shaped. " , Pulitzer Prize winner, author of Farm " Schafer captures the exuberance of newly discovering the culture of agri-culture and the satisfaction of a better way. Warm fuzzies for anyone who loves the rural landscape. " Salatin, author of You Can Farm CONTENTS Introduction: Moving to the Farm Part 1.
