Product Description |
|
A couple working six months per year for 50 hours per week on 20 acres can net $25,000-$30,000 per year with an investment equivalent to the price of one new medium-sized tractor. Seldom has agriculture held out such a plum. In a day when main-line farm experts predict the continued demise of the family farm, the pastured poultry opportunity shines like a beacon in the night, guiding the way to a brighter future. |

Inspiring Book |
|
While some complained in their reviews about this book, I enjoyed reading it. If you are into farming on a small scale without going overboard on getting set up this book will inspire you. Covers a lot of information on rasing poultry for a profit. While the focus is on pastured poultry with movable trailers it will also work for just free range as well. A great additon to our farm library. |

best poulty book ever |
there is nothing in this book that is not useful and to the point. no waffle, tried and workable advice, clearly written.
the author has been a successful farmer for at least 20 years, so he knows what he is talking about.
THANK YOU, JOEL SALATIN! |

Great start |
Joel does a great job overall. I'd just like to see better illustrations, especially concerning pen construction and processing the birds. I highly recommend newbies take a look at Herrick Kimball's [...]. He does a great job illustrating how to process the birds, with great pictures. Also, the homemade plucker, which he designed, is great. It plucks 3 birds in about 10-15 seconds! Now that's good stuff! But I'd highly recommend Joel's book, in spite of the poor illustrations. Maybe he should have a talk with his publisher and put out a new edition. We just did our first 50 Cornish X Rocks, largely based on his methods and it went off without a hitch...well, I accidentally ran over a couple of birds with the pen as I moved it. So, those were a couple of "hitches", but some of the little buggers just didn't want to march to my well-sung Marine Corps marching songs! Imagine that! So, the little non-hackers went off to join Colonel Sanders in a better place. Maybe he can get them to march:)

I love this book, It has great information in it about all sorts of different ideas for the Farm, for making it work without added Machinery. It is focused on Poultry and touches on other thing (Just enough to make you want to get the other books that Joel Salatin has written; which I have done). This Is my first year of doing Chickens and I had good success with them, using Joel's book. It is important to read the appendix there is updated information. Some of the product that he mentioned in his book are very hard to find here local to me. |
