"This book was written for farmers who want their own small farm business. You will learn about the basics of a small farm - what you will need, how your life will change, and what you can expect from the government, your neighbors, and living with plants and livestock. You will learn about how a farmer's lifestyle is different from yours, building a farm plan and evaluating your resources before making decisions. You will also learn how to get help and which good farming principles, followed by the top farmers in the world, to trust. The nature of soil, working with soil, and the essence of crop rotation are all outlined in detail to help you make better decisions with your crops. You will also learn how to use green manure and cover crops to protect your plants and the environment."
"Throughout the latter half of the 20th century, the number of small farms operating in the United States dropped by more than 75 percent according to the US Department of Agriculture. But, recently, there has been a major resurgence in these family operated, outdoor businesses that has made them both financially viable again and underrepresented. The world of small farm businesses is being bolstered by a surge in interest by health conscious individuals looking for organic, locally grown products. This, along with growing food needs in developed and developing countries, makes your potential."@en
