Advice From An Old Farmer On Wise Tillage
An elder farmer recalls forty years of tilling and shares concise lessons. He argues one well manured acre outperforms two poorly managed acres, a single well fed animal outperforms two underfed, and grass enhances value over cotton when no forage is raised. He warns against buying grain to neglect farming and stresses reading agricultural papers, managing one’s own business, and the health and wisdom of abstaining from alcohol.
