Outstanding in Her Field

Fellow farmwife, writer and friend Gloria Hafemeister has finally succeeded in chronicling over 30 years of 'farm wifery' in her new book "Rural Ramblings". Gloria is a wonderful advocate for agriculture and her writing has captured and promoted an awareness of the issues facing farmers. Over the years as a freelance writer, Gloria pounded out over 1,500 entries in her endearing column "Rural Ramblings".

So how do you choose which ones make the grade and the ones left on the cutting room floor? Let someone else do the picking, as I can imagine her writings are close to her heart and all just as dear - even the ones about getting the tractor stuck in the muck out by the cattails.

So if you have also chosen to marry a farmer, or if you just enjoy good wholesome humor, why not obtain your own copy by this talented, local author. The book can by purchased in the office of the Watertown Daily Times on Main Street in Watertown, the Hair Place in Hustisford or at Brandon Meats & Sausages in downtown Brandon. To purchase by mail, send a check for $19.99 plus $5 shipping to Gloria Hafemeister, N4727 Lake Dr., Hustisford, WI 53034.
