Title: First Book of Farming (first pub 1905)
Post by: rustyme on January 20, 2008, 06:33:49 pm

here is a link to a very good basic book on farming ( the old way ) . It gives very clear information on all the basics, loads of old pictures to go with it (funny I have lots of the old tools in the pics) I think it is a very good FREE online introduction to farming the old way .

Still reading this myself , hope it is of use to someone......
