Editorial Reviews

From the Publisher

This is the first of hopefully several photo books that photojournalist Greg Latza will produce about his favorite subject, South Dakota.

From the Author

Enjoy the book! I worked for about five years to gather all the photos in this volume, and I feel strongly that this is an accurate representation of all that is happening on the present-day family farm.

5.0 out of 5 stars Greg Latzka Takes South Dakota back to the farm., December 12, 1999

I would like to thank Greg for taking me back to the farm. I grew up about 10 miles from Greg's farm. Having lived on the farm as a young child and then selling the farm as the prices dropped in the '80's, was not uncommon. Living in Mitchell was still not close enough to the country. I worked at my uncles Dairy farm whenever I got time. It did not matter if he paid me or not. I just enjoyed viewing God's Country. I am now living in Houston, TX and miss the smell of fresh cut alfalfa in the morning or a calf's first wobbly step. This book took me back for a moment in time. I want to thank Greg once again for the beautiful book. The pictures do justice to our beautiful state and people. You can put a man in TEXAS but you can't take the South Dakotan out of him.....

5.0 out of 5 stars WOW! Mr. Latza's book took me 'Back to the Farm'., November 20, 1999

This book not only rivals most of the Day in the Life books but could be compared to anything that you see in National Geographic. Mr. Latza has an eye and a heart for his state. Bravo Greg, when is the next book coming out.

5.0 out of 5 stars If you want to travel to South Dakota, this is the vehicle!, November 9, 1999

As a South Dakota native, and now residing elsewhere, this book is a great reminder of the land, the farms, and the people. If you are from the upper midwest this book will trigger fond memories, if you're not it will create them!
