Soil is where farming begins, so this is where the lesson begins too. Charles Burkett and his coauthors open with the origin of the soil and build a full introduction to farming for young students and beginners. Clear, illustrated, and paced for someone learning from scratch. Start at the ground floor and grow into a real understanding of the land.

Every copy includes a printable PDF edition, a beautifully typeset book you can print, mark up in the margins, and keep on your shelf. Yours the moment you own it.
