How to Choose and Manage a Farm by Isabella Beeton

How to Choose and Manage a Farm by Isabella Beeton

This vintage book contains a detailed treatise on farming and farm management, being a guide to every aspect of farming from design and construction to drainage and irrigation. Although old, much of the information contained within this book is timeless and will be of considerable utility to modern farmers and smallholders. Contents include: Farming in General, Landlord and Tenant, Farms and Farm Buildings, Farm Labourers' Implements and Machinery, Leading Principles of Agriculture, Soils, Draining and Irrigation, Land and its Management, and Farm Operations and Farm Educations. Many vintage books such as this are increasingly scarce and expensive. We are republishing this volume now in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition complete with a specially commissioned new introduction on agriculture and agronomy.

Isabella Mary Beeton was born in London in 1836 and grew up in a household of 21 children. Her style, imparting information as clearly as possible, was hugely influential and the enduring popularity of MRS BEETON'S BOOK OF HOUSEHOLD MANAGEMENT is a testament to the quality of her advice.
