Break the soil finely, hoe between the rows, and the crop feeds itself: one man's radical idea reshaped farming. Jethro Tull argues his theory of horse-hoeing husbandry, examining roots, the food of plants, pasture, and dung. The foundational text behind modern tillage. Meet the stubborn genius who taught the world to cultivate.

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.
