“Your Successful Farm Business” is one of Joel Salatin’s latest books.

One of my favorite writers on anything farming has to be Joel Salatin. Joel’s books are chock full of information. Quite often he adds a humorous note – just consider the title of one of his books, “The Marvelous Pigness of Pigs,” and you will understand what I mean.

In his latest book, “Your Successful Farm Business,” Joel gives you a little over three hundred pages of down-to-earth information from Working Landscapes (Chapter One), through Elclectic Awareness, Living Frugally, a Can Do Entrepreneurial Spirit and all the way to New Opportunities that can help make your farm more profitable. These are all things that any size farm can do – from just an acre or two all the way up to 100 or more acres.
