The world is a bit crazy right now, but despite uncertainty and a volatile climate, there is a way to farm that generates profit, builds a legacy and involves less stress. The Art of Excellent Farming starts with making first-rate choices about yourself so that you can make the best decisions about crops, people and money.
Your personal power is the key – and it‘s far stronger than unpredictable weather or markets.
Dr Kate Burke’s practical and pragmatic approach to farming is based on thirty years of experience as an agricultural scientist in the dryland cropping sector. She knows how to connect the dots of science, people and money. With a unique blend of evidence, insight and empathy, Kate encourages readers to clear the fear and take the steering wheel toward Excellent Farming.
Kate illustrates all of this (the key to excellent farming) with allusions to cricket and football, with easy-to-recall acronyms, with real-life case studies, and most of all with practical advice, all of which help to convey the importance of the choices that are open to farmers in the face of things they cannot control.
And that’s perhaps the most important message from this book: that being an ‘excellent farmer ’ is about making choices – choices about crops, about money, about people, and, ultimately, about themselves. Farmers, like people in other walks of life, don’t have to be excellent. But if they want to be, Kate’s book will show them how.
