The American Farm Bureau Foundation’s Book of the Year
winner is Lisl Detlefsen for “Right This Very Minute.” The book explains to
children how every minute of every day, someone is working to bring food to
their table. Detlefsen lives on a cranberry marsh near Wisconsin Rapids,
Wisconsin, with her husband and two sons. “Telling the story of agriculture is
very dear to my heart,” Detlefsen told Brownfield Ag News. “Telling the story
of what we do and how we bring food to tables is of the utmost importance.”
Detlefsen has two previously published books, “Time for Cranberries” and “If
You Had a Jetpack.”
