Description
First published in 1883, this is the 18th edition of this single reference source for both students of agriculture and agriculturalists. It contains current information on all aspects of the business of farming and has been thoroughly revised to reflect recent changes in agricultural practices. Many of the chapters such as health and safety and computers have been given a new approach by authors who have not previously contributed to the "Notebook", and a chapter dealing with alternative enterprises has been added.
