Father & Daughter Combine For Farm Memories

University of Illinois Press

Alan Guebert has written the nationally syndicated column "Farm and Food File" for more than 20 years.  Most of the time he keeps a serious focus on breaking down food policy issues. Often, its not the same view as held by major farm groups.   Other times, the Delavan, Illinois based writer harkens back to his days on a southern Illinois dairy farm.  Guebert and his daughter Mary Grace Foxwell combined to produce this book, which is published by the University of Illinois press.   They discussed their effort and also about some of the food issues of the day.

Guebert and Foxwell will be appearing at Prairie Archives in Springfield June 4 from 11-1 & from 7-9 at Our Town Books in Jacksonville.

Bill is a former general manager, economy reporter, Harvest correspondent and Statehouse Bureau Chief for NPR Illinois. He has won several awards including the Associated Press Best Investigative Reporter.
