"In the 1980s `Rogernomics', which saw the farm subsidies removed and interest rates soar to over 24%, collided with the worst drought in living memory. As a result, 800 of the 1200 farmers and their families in the Ashburton District were Social Welfare beneficiaries. This period became known as the Rural Downturn. What did it mean for our community and how did it cope?"--Back cover.
