Letter to a young farmer : how to live richly without wealth on the new garden farm / Gene Logsdon ; foreword by Wendell Berry.

No such thing as the "American Farmer" -- Farming is all about the money, even when it isn't -- The economic decentralization of nearly everything -- The ripening of a "Rurban" culture -- The barns at the center of the garden farm universe -- Backyard sheep -- Hauling livestock: the ultimate test of your farming mettle -- The cow stable: health spa of the future -- The rise of the modern plowgirl -- Finding and keeping a new age farm partner -- Big data and robot farming -- The invasion of the paranoids -- One cow's forage is another cow's poison -- Pasture farming is part of garden farming -- The wild-plant explorers -- The most stubborn farmer of us all -- Have we deflowered our virgin soils? -- The ressurection of a really free market -- Artisanal food in the new age of farming -- Why fake steak won't ever rule the meat market -- The homebodies -- If Michelangelo had to drive to work -- A fable about the end of "get big or get out" -- The real background behind the fading of industrial farming -- In praise of rural simplicity (whatever that is).
