Fields of Farmers : Interning, Mentoring, Partnering, Germinating

America’s common farmer is sixty years outdated. When younger individuals can’t get in, outdated individuals can’t get out. Approaching a watershed second, our tradition desperately wants a generational switch of thousands and thousands of farm acres dealing with abandonment, improvement, or amalgamation into ever-larger holdings. Primarily based on his a long time of expertise with interns and multigenerational partnerships at Polyface Farm, farmer and writer Joel Salatin digs deep into the issues and options surrounding this land- and knowledge-transfer disaster. This e book empowers aspiring younger farmers, midlife farmers, and nonfarming landlords to construct regenerative, worthwhile agricultural enterprises.
