Author Jim Gerrish grew up on a grain and alfalfa hay farm in south-central Illinois, but caught grass fever in the mid-seventies. He left the grain farming scene, never to return. He spent over 22 years conducting beef-forage systems research while on the faculty of the University of Missouri, and has over 20 years of commercial cattle and sheep productions on his family farm in northern Missouri.
