In a Pickle: A Family Farm Story

Amusing story about fictional small-town WI in the 1950's. The resident farmers grow cucumbers to supplement their incomes. A big conglomerate takes over the local pickle salting station and impacts their lives. Told from the standpoint of the manager of the local station. A bit preachy about the need to treat the earth with care but a great story. A quick read and interesting trivia about pickles :)

Andy Meyer, a young farmer and cucumber warehouse manager, lives in a rural Wisconsin community where everyone is interconnected. New machines, processes, and philosophies are changing farming and the landscape. Will his choices lead to success for himself and the community he lives in? What is success?

Although I liked this book, I liked the first 2 in the series better - maybe just because they were set earlier, and I learned more from them. I am still looking forward to reading the last.
