Arthur Young farmed, failed, traveled, and became the most famous agricultural writer of his age. His autobiography follows a restless life: early farming, a hard marriage, the search for a living, journeys through Ireland, and endless field experiments. Candid and vivid, it is the self-portrait of the man who taught Europe to take farming seriously.

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.
