Reviews

"Making Hay takes one of the least common denominators in rural American life and gives it real glory. Klinkenborg is funny, learned, elegant, and accurate every single minute."--Tom McGuane

"A marvelous picture of rural life and of families at work. This is a fascinating excursion into American farmland."
