Great book
Book was exactly what is was looking for in a practical farming guide. It is honest and can be a great reference if you are honest about yourself and what you really want to do! Would suggest it for any would be farmer, or a farmer that wants to farm sustainably and profitably in the future.

You can do this!
I love this book! It deals with the realities of starting a farm without the fluff of the agribuisiness concept. Too many times of late I've seen farms fail from excessive debt and trying to keep up with the Monsanto's of the world - and why? To put out poisonous food? To destroy the environment? To tick off the neighbors with the bad smells and corpses of animals? There has got to be a better way! And this author presents one. Go for it!

A must read for aspiring farmers/ranchers of any scale
This book is a cornocopia of important information delivered in a fashion that is easy to read and highly entertaining. Once you pick it up you will not want to put it down until you're finished. "You can farm" will take you through every scenario one might encounter in the agriculture business and give you the insight necessary to start down the road towards a successful farming/ranching operation. From your metropolitan backyard garden spot to a thousand acre ranch it dispels the myths associated with the industry and gives an honest & candid view from the inside out. Highly recommended for anyone even thinking of starting a farming enterprise.
