The Farming Ladder by George Henderson



I just finished reading The Farming Ladder by George Henderson which I borrowed from the Murphys. If you see this book second hand BUY IT! It is out of print and right now there are only two on Amazon.com for $150. I'm thinking more like under $20. Joel Salatin calls it "his favorite book of all time." I enjoyed reading the story of another farmer who did old fashion or "Joel Salatin" style farming over 70 years ago. It covers everything from movable chicken pens to crop rotaion, cattle and farm entrepreneurialism. 181 pages, hardcover. Published in 1944.
