Title: The Cows Are Out!: two decadeson a Maine dairy farm.
Description: Yarmouth, Islandport Press, (2004). 2nd ed. VG PB. Family dairy farms once stood as a staple of the rural Maine economy and helped mold the state's culture and image with. picturesque silos and rolling green hay fields dotting the countryside. Today they find themselves increasingly buffeted by lower prices, higher costs and competition. As a result, family farms are disappearing at an alarming rate, from more than 2,000 in 1965 to less than 400 in 2004. Price was raised in Aroostook County, Maine, where she learned the ethic and value of hard work packing potatoes for 25 cents a barrel.
