James P. Richardson recounts buying an Ozark 80 acre apple farm, poor harvests and a $700 net, then hiring a college-trained assistant to boost production.

He faced price manipulation by retailers, shipping losses, and failed direct sales in cities, ending with renewed reliance on farming and a critique of middlemen.
