Does anyone know if there is a good book on farming A-Z out there? I’ve read Joel Galatin’s “You Can Farm” and it just does not have much hardcore information.

How much land do you need to farm to sustain a family of four?

"How much land do you need to farm to sustain a family of four?"

Depends. Lousy answer, I know. Tell me more about what you want to do ... do you want to financial support a family of 4, or are you looking just to feed a family of 4. Were you thinking row crops or more of a gardening venture? Do you want to totally live "off the land"?
