This book is very full of knowledge that I was unaware of, statistics wise. The Progressive Farmer predicts the disappearance of 200,000 to 400,000 farms each year during the next 20 years if the present trend in America continues. It is important to understand how bad things could possibly be in the future, “husbandry will become an extractive industry because maintenance will entirely give way to production, and the fertility of the soil will become a limited, unrenewable resource like coal or oil.” This is a scary thought and it is good that college students are learning about the tragedies behind losing agriculture in America, which may affect our lives one day down the road.
