Passionate about farm life and preserving small-town stories, author Ken Mitchell weaves his memories of rural living into his latest book, Times Gone By: A Glimpse into Small Town America. The book stemmed from Mitchell’s yearly column in the Mason City Banner, emphasizing how farm life changes with the times.
Mitchell retired from the financial services industry prior to becoming an author. Now, he focuses on his writing, and this marks his 19th book. He began with a biography of his father and continues to weave an array of memoirs focusing on rural living.
As a Farm Bureau member of 55 years, he prides himself on showcasing the importance of agriculture and farmers to his readers. To learn more and shop his books, visit kenmitchellbooks.com.
