520 |a "Iowa in the 1980s-the state was at the epicenter of a nationwide agricultural collapse unmatched since the Great Depression. While farms failed and banks foreclosed, rural and small town Iowans watched and suffered, struggling to find effective ways to cope with the crisis. If families and communities were to endure, they would have to think about themselves, their farms, and their futures in new ways. When a Dream Dies examines the lives of ordinary Iowa farmers during the 1980s. For many Iowan families, this meant restructuring their lives or moving away from agriculture completely. Told from the perspective of Iowa, a state which arguably experienced the worst of the crisis, this project helps to explain how this disaster changed children, families, communities, and the development of the Midwest in the late twentieth century"--  |c Provided by publisher.
