The Twentieth Edition takes The Agricultural Notebook into
its third century; it has been thoroughly revised and updated to
reflect the considerable changes in agricultural and rural
practices and policies which have taken place since publication of
the previous edition. The book is divided into four parts: Crops,
Management, Animal Production, and Farm Equipment. New sections
added to this edition include: 1) A Marketing Perspective on
Diversification, 2) Organic Farming, and 3) Farming and
Wildlife.
Since the first edition was compiled by Primrose Mc Connell in
1883, The Agricultural Notebook has become established as
the standard work of reference for all those in the farming
industry. With each edition it has evolved and changed in such a
way as to provide agricultural scientists, students of agriculture
and related subjects, farmers, farm managers and land agents with
an abundance of current information on all aspects of the business
of farming.
Many comments received from lecturers and students who have used
previous editions of the book have been taken into account in
producing the twentieth edition. The thirty contributing authors
have fully updated chapters, a new clearer layout has been adopted
and much new information is included in easy-to-use tables and
figures.
The Agricultural Notebook is an essential purchase for
all students of agriculture, countryside, and rural studies.
Professionals such as farmers, land agents, agricultural
scientists, advisers, suppliers to the agriculture industry and all
those with a connection and interest in the agricultural community
will find a huge wealth of information within the book’s
covers. All libraries within universities, colleges and research
establishments where agricultural and rural sciences are studied
and taught should have multiple copies of this important new
edition on their shelves.
