I'm not a great gardener and certainly not a "farmer", but I'd like to be one ... I love farm chores, animals, raising what you eat ... the whole nine yards. Both sets of grandparents were farmers ... one grandfather had a dairy, the other beef cows & acres of tomatoes, so maybe my love of all things 'farm' are genetic.

Anyway, I came across a book lately and the reviews on it are just the best .... I'm getting it for two guys I know: one who is trying to eke out a profit on his family farm and another who worked on an organic farm this summer and quickly figured out how much work it is .... but still would like to do something in farming. Here's a link, check it out:
