Traditional American Farming Techniques
Paperback
(Lyons Press Dec. 1, 2001)
, 1st edition
Traditional American Farming Techniques remains as valuable today as when it was first published in 1916. More than a thousand pages brim with information - everything from the science behind crop rotation to the specifics of breeding better hogs; from raising perfect celery to maximizing yields in subtropical citrus groves; from growing and curing the best tobacco to making the best butter; from the care and management of draft animals to the details of replacing them with trucks and tractors; from improving farm soils to dealing with insect infestations and diseases of crops and livestock using methods today's organic farmers would recognize and approve.
