About this ebook

The Iowa Farmer is at it again with a sequel to his much-acclaimed The Iowa Farmer's Wife. Follow the adventures of a widowed farmwife trying to hang on to her livelihood and the burnt-out detective she has rescued from himself. An investigation ensues after a farmer is found buried in his own cornfield, and when a 12-year-old boy turns up as a witness, the local law enforcement has to move fast saving his life. This isn’t big city CSI, FBI, or CIA. It is an exciting and heart-warming story involving farm life, romance, and murder.

Bill Beaman

The Beamans own and operate a livestock and grain farm located in Southwest Iowa. Purchased in 1982, the farm has survived: the "Farm Crisis" of the Eighties, a 1986 bank failure, the 1988 drought, the floods of 1993, and too many other dilemmas to mention. Through it all, the Beaman family has maintained a sustainable farming operation, raising livestock using grass-based pasture production and a grain, legume crop rotation. Their farm, like all of Iowa's farms, has a million stories to tell.Bill Beaman loves to write and is passionate about sustainable farming operations and how they can become more accessible to new, young, beginning farmers.
