Modern Farm Management: Principles and Practice

About this book

In the preparation of this book the authors have attempted to develop the background upon which successful farming is founded, and to present in concise from and orderly discussion of the many problems and procedures involved in acquiring, organising and operating a farm. Material not hitherto available in text form has been included to supplement and complete the information required for successful operation of a farm business. The text has been prepared for use in a general course in farm management. Although the book has been prepared primarily as text, it is also suitable as a guide book for farmers, many of whom will profit by careful reading.
