A fresh and sincere approach to agriculture

This book offers a good, systematic approach for farmers, that allows you to understand what constitues a "good" and fertile soil for growing crops. I myself am just a free- time gardener, and although the book is mostly about large operations of tens or hundreds of acres, there`s still a lot of info here that I can use on my own small plot. Schriefer`s attitude is perhaps the best thing in this book. He seems to be genuinely concerned about the decline of farming and farmland. The book is not about organic farming, however, so there`s a lot of info on using artificial fertilizers.
