Good Seed Potatoes and how to Produce Them by William Stuart Pdf

The production of high-grade seed potatoes should be regarded as a special business. Good seed is a determining factor in the production of maximum crops of potatoes. The use of high-grade seed would increase the return from the potato crop of the country by many millions of dollars. Good strains of seed may be obtained by the tuber-unit, hill-selection, or mass-selection methods thought he process of elimination. . Like produces like. If tubers from unproductive or weak plants are planted, a poor harvest will be reaped. Use seed from productive plants. Purity of seed stock is an essential quality of good seed. Serious losses are sustained by the grower through mixtures. Good seed can not be produced unless the growing plants are well cared for. A more liberal use of food seed would materially increase the average production per acre. All seed should be disinfected before planting. Good storage facilities are essential to insure sound, firm seed at planting time.

The Greenhouse and Hoophouse Grower's Handbook by Andrew Mefferd Pdf

The Greenhouse and Hoophouse Grower's Handbook shares best practices for both large- and small-scale production of the eight most profitable crops - tomatoes, eggplant, cucumbers, peppers, leafy greens, lettuce, herbs, and microgreens. Every year, more growers are turning to protected culture to deal with unpredictable weather and to meet out-of-season demand for local food, but many end up spinning their wheels, wasting time and money on unprofitable crops grown in ways that don't make the most of their precious greenhouse space. This book levels the playing field with decision-making framework that goes beyond a list of simple dos and don'ts. With comprehensive chapters on temperature control and crop steering, pruning and trellising, grafting, and more, Andrew Meffer's book is full of techniques and strategies that can help farms stay profitable, satisfy customers, and become an integral part of relocalizing our food system. From seed to sale, this book is the indispensable resource for protected growing.--COVER.

The Organic No-Till Farming Revolution by Andrew Mefferd Pdf

Learn how to use natural no-till systems to increase profitability, efficiency, carbon sequestration, and soil health on your small farm. The Organic No-Till Farming Revolution is the comprehensive farmer-developed roadmap showing how no-till lowers barriers to starting a small farm, reduces greenhouse gas emissions, increases efficiency and profitability, and promotes soil health. Farming without tilling has long been a goal of agriculture, yet tilling remains one of the most dominant paradigms; almost everyone does it. But tilling kills beneficial soil life, burns up organic matter, and releases carbon dioxide. If the ground could instead be prepared for planting without tilling, time and energy could be saved, soil organic matter increased, carbon sequestered, and dependence on machinery reduced. This hands-on manual offers: Why roller-crimper no-till methods don't work for most small farms A decision-making framework for the four no-till methods: occultation, solarization, organic mulches grown in place, and applied to beds Ideas for starting a no-till farm or transitioning a working farm A list of tools, supplies, and sources. This is the only manual of its kind, specifically written for natural and small-scale farmers who wish to expand or explore chemical-free, regenerative farming methods.
