Resumen del Editor
A Master Class in Organic Farming, a Lesson in Entrepreneurship, a Love Story, and a Legal Thriller.
When the hail starts to fall, Atina Diffley doesn't compare it to golf balls. She's a farmer. It's "as big as a B-size potato." As her bombarded land turns white, she and her husband Martin huddle under a blanket and reminisce: the one-hundred-mile-per-hour winds; the eleven-inch rainfall ("that broccoli turned out gorgeous"); the hail disaster of 1977.
The romance of farming washed away a long time ago. But the love? Never. In telling her story of working the land, coaxing good food from the fertile soil, Atina Diffley reminds us of an ultimate truth: we live in relationships - with the earth, plants and animals, families and communities.
A memoir of making these essential relationships work in the face of challenges as natural as weather and as unnatural as corporate politics, her book is a firsthand history of getting in at the "ground level," of organic farming. One of the first certified organic produce farms in the Midwest, the Diffleys' Gardens of Eagan helped to usher in a new kind of green revolution in the heart of America's farmland, supplying their roadside stand and a growing number of local food co-ops. This is a story of a world transformed - and reclaimed - one square acre at a time.
As Atina Diffley tells her David-versus-Goliath tale, she gives readers everything from expert instruction in organic farming to an entrepreneur's manual on how to grow a business, to a legal thriller about battling corporate arrogance, to a love story about a single mother falling for a good, big-hearted man.

Margaret Roach has been harvesting 30 years of backyard parables - deceptively simple, instructive stories from a life spent digging ever deeper - and has distilled them in this memoir along with her best tips for garden making, discouraging all manner of animal and insect opponents, at-home pickling, and more. After ruminating on the bigger picture in her memoir And I Shall Have Some Peace There, Margaret Roach has returned to the garden, insisting as ever that we must garden with both our head and heart, or as she expresses it, with "horticultural how-to and woo-woo."

Historia
The story of the "Lentil Underground" begins on a 280-acre homestead rooted in America's Great Plains: the Oien family farm. Forty years ago, corporate agribusiness told small farmers like the Oiens to "get big or get out." But 27-year-old David Oien decided to take a stand, becoming the first in his conservative Montana county to plant a radically different crop: organic lentils. Unlike the chemically dependent grains American farmers had been told to grow, lentils make their own fertilizer and tolerate variable climates, so their farmers aren't beholden to industrial methods.

Many of the men and women doing today's most consequential environmental work - restoring America's grasslands, wildlife, soil, rivers, wetlands, and oceans - would not call themselves environmentalists; they would be too uneasy with the connotations of that word. What drives them is their deep love of the land - the iconic terrain where explorers and cowboys, pioneers, and riverboat captains forged the American identity. They feel a moral responsibility to preserve this heritage and natural wealth.

Long before the advent of conventional farming methods - which have focused on constant growth, human intervention, and genetic homogeneity - the apple had already grown to become the ubiquitous all-American symbol it is today. Known for their hardiness, ability to adapt to new environments, natural diversity, and plentiful bounty, wildly grown apples were once known as “America’s fruit” throughout the trading world.

What do you do when you love your farm...but it doesn’t love you? After 15 years of farming, Catherine Friend is tired. After all, while shepherding is one of the oldest professions, it’s not getting any easier. The number of sheep in America has fallen by 90 percent in the last 90 years. But just as Catherine thinks it’s time to hang up her shepherd’s crook, she discovers that sheep might be too valuable to give up. What ensues is a funny, thoughtful romp through the history of our woolly friends, why small farms are important, and how each one of us - and the planet - would benefit from being very sheepish, indeed.

Following a dozen families and their communities through the rise and fall of the region, Timothy Egan tells of their desperate attempts to carry on through blinding black dust blizzards, crop failure, and the death of loved ones. Brilliantly capturing the terrifying drama of catastrophe, he does equal justice to the human characters who become his heroes.

The King of California is the previously untold account of how a Georgia slave-owning family migrated to California in the early 1920s, drained one of America 's biggest lakes in an act of incredible hubris and carved out the richest cotton empire in the world.

The Ogallala aquifer has nourished life on the American Great Plains for millennia. But less than a century of unsustainable irrigation farming has taxed much of the aquifer beyond repair. The imminent depletion of the Ogallala and other aquifers around the world is a defining planetary crisis of our times. Running Out offers a uniquely personal account of aquifer depletion and the deeper layers through which it gains meaning and force.

Novella Carpenter loves cities - the culture, the crowds, the energy. At the same time, she can't shake the fact that she is the daughter of two back-to-the-land hippies who taught her to love nature and eat vegetables. Ambivalent about repeating her parents' disastrous mistakes, yet drawn to the idea of backyard self-sufficiency, Carpenter decided that it might be possible to have it both ways.

Would you try another book from Atina Diffley and/or Atina Diffley?
Book, yes. Audio book, nooooooo!
What didn’t you like about Atina Diffley’s performance?
The inflection, emotion (lack of), slow tempo, meter, timbre, accent...Not much to like about the performance.
Was Turn Here Sweet Corn: Organic Farming Works worth the listening time?
No, not close. Can I get a refund?
Any additional comments?
Just read it. Don't waste a penny on this audiobook unless they re-do it. I thought it would be cool to hear the author read aloud her own book. I was so wrong. Sweet human being, just not voice talent.

Just listen to anything else on Audible, seriously
This book wasn’t for you, but who do you think might enjoy it more?
Few, if any, could enjoy listening to this narrator, not to mention the writing is just - strange.
What could Atina Diffley have done to make this a more enjoyable book for you?
Paid for a narrator and an editor.
What didn’t you like about Atina Diffley’s performance?
Her writing and her voice
Any additional comments?
This book is very, very hard to follow. The narration is SO bad, but the writing only contributes to the confusion - it basically turns into a comedy you never wanted.

Not what you might expect from the description
What disappointed you about Turn Here Sweet Corn: Organic Farming Works?
"She gives readers everything from expert instruction in organic farming to an entrepreneur's manual on how to grow a business," is what it says in the description. I'm five chapters in and all the author's done so far is talk about her life, history, women's rights, and her failing marriage. All of this might be fine if that's what you are looking for, but this is just a personal diary about this woman's life without much practical education.
What was most disappointing about Atina Diffley’s story?
I was led to believe this book would help me better understand what organic farming is all about. It's not. It's an intimate look into this woman's life.
Would you be willing to try another one of Atina Diffley’s performances?
No.
If you could play editor, what scene or scenes would you have cut from Turn Here Sweet Corn: Organic Farming Works?
Just deliver what is described in the summary!

Poorly narrated
Any additional comments?
The author, Atina Diffley narrates this book herself, and it is obvious that this is not her full or even part time gig.The narration was slow, stiff, lacked any natural flow or appropriate emphasis, and really grated on my nerves. I felt like I was having a third grader read me the story. I have listened to many audiobooks and, while I don't always like the narrators voice, I have never had to stop listening to a book.... until now. I made it about 45 minutes into this one and couldn't take it anymore.
As I didn't make it very far in the book, I cannot comment on the story. Given the description, my interest in the subject matter, and the generally positive reviews on amazon, I may attempt to read a hard copy of this myself.
I suggest listening to a preview before purchasing. I didn't and won't be making that mistake again.
