Winner of the Minnesota Book Award and the Red River Heritage Award

The Haymakers is an epic--the history of man's struggle with nature as well as man's struggle against machines. It relates the story of farmers and their obligations to their families, to the animals they fed, and to the land they tended. But The Haymakersis also an elegy--to a way of life fast disappearing from our landscape. In the most heartfelt essays, Hoffbeck chronicles his own family's struggle to hold onto their family farm and his personal struggle in deciding to leave farming for another way of life.

Hoffbeck also seeks to document and preserve the commonplace methods of haymaking, information about haying that might otherwise be lost to posterity. He describes the tools and the methods of haymaking as well as the relentless demands of the farm. Using diaries, agricultural guidebooks and personal interviews, the folkways of cutting, raking, and harvesting hay have been recorded in these chapters. In the end, this book is not so much about agricultural history as it is about family history, personal history--how farm families survive, even persevere.

Very noticeable white cast that almost looks like too light makeup
Size: 0.5 Ounce (Pack of 1), Style: SPF 50 Stick
I like that this sunscreen stick is compact, easy to toss in a bag, and doesn’t irritate my sensitive skin. It glides on smoothly and feels less greasy than some mineral sunscreens I’ve tried. The SPF 50 protection also makes it convenient for quick touch-ups throughout the day, especially on the face and ears. The biggest downside for me is the noticeable white cast. While it’s easy to apply and feels gentle on sensitive skin, the white cast is very noticeable and hard to blend out. It left my face looking pale and chalky for hours, which made me self-conscious wearing it in public. I understand mineral sunscreens can leave some residue, but this one was much more visible than expected. It may work better for very fair skin tones or outdoor activities where appearance matters less, but I wouldn’t repurchase it for everyday use.

This is all I use and I hate putting stuff on my skin.
Size: 0.5 Ounce (Pack of 1), Style: SPF 50 Stick
Perfect, I have one in pocket for reapplying as needed especially when my hands are disgusting. Just like the directions say it is also excellent for lips, nose and ears. You can massage it in if you mind the white cast. I like the white cast because that is what is protecting my skin from further damage. I found that when used as directed combined with the CETAPHIL Sheer Mineral Sunscreen Lotion it also protects my sensitive and extremely sun damaged skin from wind burn. Since I put it on thick it prevents the biting insects from getting to my skin. I only use on my face because I cover everything else with protective clothing. Rather have a white cast than permanent sun damage. It doesn't burn my skin like many other brands I've tried.

Easy application, moisturizing
Size: 0.5 Ounce (Pack of 1), Style: SPF 50 Stick
I love this product. It's so quick and easy to use! My face tends to get dry throughout the day but this is amazing for it! It only leaves a white cast if i put a lot on (usually if i go out for a run/hike). Other than that, i rub it in really well and my face feels moisturized and looks glowy. I highly recommend. It is very small but i only use it on my face so it has lasted me a while.

Essential daily protection to complete my routine
As part of my skincare routine focused on improving dark spots on my face, sunscreen is a must. The Neutrogena Ultra Sheer Dry-Touch SPF 70 has a smooth texture, a light and fresh scent, and feels comfortable on the skin. It absorbs quickly and doesn’t leave a heavy or greasy finish, which makes it easy to use every day. I like how it protects my skin without altering my natural skin tone, making it a perfect final step in my routine. It complements my skincare well and helps me stay consistent with daily protection. The pack also includes three tubes, which is very convenient and practical.

This is the suntan lotion I’ll buy from now on.
Really nice suntan lotion. I brought it to a quick Florida trip in early summer. Very light compared to other products we have on hand. Not greasy. I plan to buy this in future once we run out. I also really liked the set of three 3oz containers which made it perfect for travel. I give this product 5 stars without hesitation.
