What motivates the farmer? Where are the roots of his pride?
Through the rise and fall of the Groningen grain barons, Frank Westerman tells how the farmyard has been lashed by the storms of history over the past hundred years. A quarter of a century after the publication of this modern classic, he picks up the thread again: what new challenges are stirring the countryside, far from the Randstad? The Grain Republic, which has now grown into a modern classic, is more urgent than ever.
