"For the beginning farmer, hobby farmer, and small-scale family farmer. Are you interested in the country lifestyle or becoming more self-reliant? Do you think about someday raising livestock or growing crops? If you're ready to make these thoughts a reality, this is the perfect place to start. The authors explain farming from start to finish: build your own fence, repair your own machinery, and know what to look for when you're buying a tractor. This is designed specifically for the owner of a working farm. Advice on raising livestock, growing crops, making repairs, harvesting and butchering, managing a woodlot, and more. Samantha Johnson lives on the family farm, Fox Hill Farm, in far northern Wisconsin. She is a certified horse show judge and raises purebred Welsh Mountain ponies and Dutch, Holland Lop, and Netherland Dwarf rabbits"--Provided by publisher.
