Good Points: I highly recommend this book to anyone who wishes to be successful as a farmer in the long run. It is a book you will delve into again and again. It provides motivational material to inspire people to enter the noble profession of farming. It provides multiple viewpoints to explain how plant growth can be positively enhanced. It is controversial - in that it explains why today's farming is flawed and consequently why farmers are going out of business. While the concepts can be complex to understand, the book provides stimulating reference material to guide the willing agricultural professional to transform agriculture into a sustainable and profitable business. I am motivated to put into practice measurement systems advised in relation to crop and soil testing. Also to feed the soil system with the balanced minerals required to improve the quality of crops produced. This in turn transforms the economics of farming for the future.
Bad Points: Some of the science and theory is quite complex to understand. Nevertheless there is a good reference list provided for the earnest reader to fill these gaps.
