Into the Fields: A Celebration of Farm Life <br> Photographs and Rural Route 4 columns from the Quad-City Times Cover

The Quad-City Times is pleased to announce a new hardcover coffee-table book, Into the Fields: A Celebration of Farm Life. This unique book provides an up-close and personal look at farm life over the years through the eyes of the Quad-City photographers and the treasured stories from writer Jennifer Ewoldt.

Since 2009, Jennifer Ewoldt has been sharing memorable tales about farming and rural life in her column, "Rural Route 4." Over the years, Quad-City Times readers have gotten to know her family, the ups and downs of the farm economy, the terror of drought, the celebration of a good harvest and the pain that comes from the death of a favorite horse.

The column is paired with beautiful photography showing farming and rural life in our community. The photos span generations – some pulled from the newspaper archives and many others shot by Quad-City Times staff photographer Jeff Cook, who has worked to capture local farm life for more than 30 years.

Good

Pretty good, not quite what I was looking for but has good stories and some good photos. Was hoping for more photos. High quality though.

From a former farm boy

I was born and raised on a farm in southern Minnesota. Many hours as a young man in the barns and fields. I now live near the Quad Cities, just north of Davenport IA. I worked for a farm manufacturer here for 35 years and the material in the book was of great interest. I have seen farm industry providers come and go during the past 50 years or so.

I have not finished the book yet (it was scheduled to arrive July 24 but it came a couple of days early.) The QC Times is my major newsprint publication (along with 2 others from the immediate area and one from the home town in Minnesota.)

I had thought the publication was bigger, many more pages were expected. The QC Times publishes a lot about happenings in this area, including the construction of the new I-74 bridge and removal of the old bridges.
