"Redeeming the Land: Introduction to Grass Farming"
Just published in the Spring of 2009, this ground-breaking book sheds important light on the basics of grass farming. It is especially geared for those with no previous experience in farming, but who want to take advantage of the long-term benefits that grass farming offers.
Are you committed to the concept of the family farm? Are you struggling to stay on a farm that has been in your family for generations? Have you tried a variety of traditional agricultural crops or livestock, only to come up empty-handed? Are you looking for a new direction that has the potential to save your farm and bring your family some long-term prosperity?
After almost twenty years of working with high-performance Bermuda grass, we are convinced of one thing: grass farming is the key that can unlock your future. Join us as we begin a journey to-ward a better future. Join the grass farming revolution!
We believe that grass farming is the way to make the best use of your land. We have seen whole farming operations turned around in one year. But you must be progressive, that is, open to new ideas and willing to educate yourself, as well as to work hard.
We are not pushing the next "quick fix," silver bullet, or get-rich-quick scheme. We hope to be able to impart to you a vision for the long-range productivity of your land.
One of the main lessons we have learned is that people are reluc-tant to change. But change we must, if we want different results. Grass farming is no different - it will require you to change some of your traditions and practices. We believe that the rewards will make those changes very worthwhile.
We trust that you will find here the benefits of all of our years of trial and error, to help you avoid those same delays and to have the keys to understand exactly what to do, when and where to do it, and to be able to "get it right the first time."
