From 1964 through 1982, Minnesota lost nearly a third of its farms; in response to this crisis the Minnesota Farm Advocates was formed, to educate farm families and empower them to become their own advocates. In this unprecedented gathering of 30 oral histories, farmers, politicians, lawyers, and administrators come together to paint a strong, often heart-breaking, but ultimately hopeful picture of America's embattled heartland.

Differing styles of advocacy become evident as the narrators discuss topics such as mediation and negotiation. They also talk about the frustrations and rewards of advocacy work, the historical roots of farm advocacy, current trends, agricultural law, and organizations such as the Farmer's Home Administration, the Minnesota Farm Advocate Program, and the farm activist group Groundswell.
