The book breaks farming into real-world areas you’ll encounter on a farm: from the major crop groups that feed stock to the care and breeding of horses and cattle. It also covers soil and manure, liming, and how to structure your studies to align with the kind of farming you plan to pursue. You’ll find guidance on choosing the right farm for training, keeping records, and developing a practical, market-aware approach.
