Don't buy this book if you want to understand farming. This is a book of opinions about the author's experiences with being an entrepenuer. In his opinion you should never buy a new car - dumb or what? You should also go to church. I have nothing against church but I suspect the author recruits his "interns" from such settings. He espouses that by having interns he is providing valuable info to future generations. That information must be pretty good because it aint in the book. What is in the book are lots of half cocked ideas about how "you" the reader should approach agriculture. I say approach because he never really gets there. I get more good info out of my Farm and Dairy subsciption than this book. Storey publishing has terrific books covering most of the topics in this volume of B.S. If the guy had written this as a "whodunit" you'd still be wondering.
