Fields of Farmers by Joel Salatin

Fields of Farmers by Joel Salatin

America's average farmer is sixty years old. When young people can't get in, old people can't get out. Approaching a watershed moment, our culture desperately needs a generational transfer of millions of farm acres facing abandonment, development, or amalgamation into ever-larger holdings. Based on his decades of experience with interns and multigenerational partnerships at Polyface Farm, farmer and author Joel Salatin digs deep into the problems and solutions surrounding this land- and knowledge-transfer crisis. This book empowers aspiring young farmers, midlife farmers, and nonfarming landlords to build regenerative, profitable agricultural enterprises.

Joel Salatin is a third-generation family farmer who farms with his wife Teresa, son Daniel, daughter Rachel, and their families in Virginia's Shenandoah Valley. Via on-farm sales and metropolitan buying clubs, the Salatin Polyface Farm, an organic grass-fed farm, serves over 3,000 households, ten retail shops, and fifty restaurants. Joel Salatin has contributed to a number of publications, including Stockman Grass Farmer, Acres USA, and American Agriculture.
