Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book posits that farming can see great improvements through the use of scientific principles applied to the raising of livestock, the planting of crops, and particularly the breeding of grains. The author presents a clear and comprehensive theory of breeding predicated on the idea that increasing herd and crop productivity is achieved through a progressive process that can be learned and applied anywhere. Arguing that a true and comprehensive understanding of hereditary dynamics is indispensable to progress, the author maintains that this principle extends far beyond the simple principle that âlike begets like,â and must be understood in its broader context. From the breeding of better sheep to the development of better corn, this volume provides a wealth of historical examples, practical advice, and theoretical explanations for farmers who want to increase the yield and quality of their products. The author shows that it is through careful selection of the best specimens that we can overcome the tendency for species to revert to type, and ultimately arrive at plants and livestock that consistently exceed expectations. This book contains important insights and valuable information for any agriculturalist, and provides a firm foundation for understanding the discipline of breeding.
