5.0 out of 5 stars Good but with limitations., 3 Jul 2002

By A Customer

If you have never farmed before and are thinking of taking up commercial farming - then this is an essential read.
It is very clearly aimed at the American cash crop farm - and small scale should be understood as 'American' small.
Animals are deliberately excluded from the book.
Organic is not quite what we understand as organic here in Europe (you are advised to 'spray' if it is a choice between saving a profit and not) but is certainly very environmentally friendly.
It gives a whole host of information on farm machinary and how to use it effectively; lots of useful charts and data; and has a style which makes me feel as though I have an experienced advisor available to do a quick consultation with when I want one.
Certainly well worth the money.

3.0 out of 5 stars Fair but basic coverage of the topic, 24 Nov 1998

By A Customer

For the person unfamiliar with agriculture, this book has some value. It covers the field (pun intended) from about the 50,000 foot level. For additional information, the reader will have to get specific books on what was covered in a paragraph or two in this book.

5.0 out of 5 stars If you read it, you will farm! Or you'll run elsewhere FAST., 4 Jun 1997

By A Customer

If you're thinking of small scale commercial farming, this is the book for you! If you know about soil and crop rotation and yields and harvest logistics, there's still plenty of information about equipment and storage and seeds and...

If you don't know about those things, this book is the place to start. With the information here and a little current market research, (ie. surf the web for 20 minutes to get prices,) you can write a complete farm business plan.

Well written, clear and to the point, it's full of tips and tricks to make your venture a success. It would be a bargain at ten times the price! (And I'm a hard grader.)
