Winner of the Minnesota Book Award and the Red River Heritage AwardThe Haymakers is an epic--the history of man's struggle with nature as well as man's struggle against machines. It relates the story of farmers and their obligations to their families, to the animals they fed, and to the land they tended. But The Haymakersis also an elegy--to a way of life fast disappearing from our landscape. In the most heartfelt essays, Hoffbeck chronicles his own family's struggle to hold onto their family farm and his personal struggle in deciding to leave farming for another way of life.
Hoffbeck also seeks to document and preserve the commonplace methods of haymaking, information about haying that might otherwise be lost to posterity. He describes the tools and the methods of haymaking as well as the relentless demands of the farm. Using diaries, agricultural guidebooks and personal interviews, the folkways of cutting, raking, and harvesting hay have been recorded in these chapters. In the end, this book is not so much about agricultural history as it is about family history, personal history--how farm families survive, even persevere.

Cord coverage solution
Color: White
I got this to cover the cabes under my desk. The white color blends well with the desk and the room colors. You can cover a lot of cables with it as long as they are not too heavy or bulky. Make sure to clean the area where you place the hooks or they detach after a while.

Great little Court management net
Color: White
Super easy and effective alternative to the cord management trays and little shelves you can buy. Took about 5 minutes to set up. Highly recommend

Great solution
Color: White
It’s embarrassing to say that I love this thing. Nothing falls out, it’s completely hidden, I’m so glad I didn’t go with one of those attachable C shaped wire basket things. It’s absolutely perfect.
We have a motorized sit stand desk.

Amazing. A bit of a job to set it up but worth it!
Color: Black, Color: Black
Excellent quality. Sturdy and strong. The screws that come with it are awful. Get yourself some different ones.
Takes a while to set it up and get it all measured. I did it while I was setting up my new Flexi-spot E7 Plus standing desk. Wanted to get it all done at the same time. At first. I thought it might be overkill, but I am sooooo glad I did get this. Now my computer moves along with the desk. It looks great. I bet it has improved the air flow around my computer as well.
Looks sleek and cool.
I might have set it a bit too tight around my case and as a result I have to shimmy it to get it out of the holder if I have to do any work on the computers internals. But at least I know it's secure. My suggestion would be to leave a little bit of slack to avoid this in your setup. Maybe like a 1/4 inch would be ok. The pads should hold it in place anyway. May loosen mine up if I find the time.
But it feels totally secure on the desk with no wobble or shaking.
Great product.
Also I'm a woman in my late fifties 😃and I was able to set it all up on my own. So don't be intimidated ladies, you can do it too.
I also bought two of the ultimate set up cable management trays. Great products.
Note for anyone from the Ultimate Setup company who might read this. Please provide better quality wood screws and some extra ones) I stripped three of the cheap ones that came with this. And it took forever to drill them in because they weren't strong enough. Then it would be perfect.
