The Book of Alfalfa: History, Cultivation and Merits
Foster Dwight Coburn and William Dempster Hoard
One humble forage crop quietly built the wealth of American farms. Foster Coburn gathers the full history, description, and cultivation of alfalfa, from its ancient origins to its habits in the field and its gift to the dairy. Thorough and enthusiastic, it made the case for a plant that feeds a continent. Dig into the deep-rooted crop behind the herds.
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.
