You Don’t Want More Land Says Old Farmer Letter
A satirical letter urges a farmer with 160 acres to improve efficiency rather than expand. It lists current yields and income from crops and stock, critiques wasteful practices, and advises investments in manure, a bull, clover, a silo, and better management. The author, Joe Trigg, concludes most farmers could double income in three years.
