Neil Hamilton spent years in the classroom preparing lawyers for the world of agriculture. He also has strong roots in the land that tie together in a new book that gives farmers on the land, owners away from the farm and those who eat something to think about.
Neil Hamilton initially left the farm to be a forester. His path changed a little bit, but the land has long been at the center of his work in policy, law and now writing. The retired Drake University law professor told the story of his 'back forty' that had been in his family for generations and added in many tributes to those who've helped change how Americans have come to own, operate and profit off the land.
