Description:  The son of a CCF member of the House of Commons, Herbert Schulz entered political life at a young age. Here he describes in vivid detail his time in the world of farm politics in lively and colourful prose. An early organiser for the Manitoba Federation of Agriculture, and later an executive in the Grandview Pool Elevator Association, he is in a unique position to offer an insider's account of the politics that have shaped the farming business as we know it. With humorous anecdotes and fascinating personal experiences, Schulz acquaints the reader with the rough-and-tumble world of farm politics and shows clearly how many of the farmers who once trusted their political leaders may have suffered the ultimate betrayal as they watch the family farm gradually and steadily fade into history as a quaint reminder of what once was a proud tradition.
