This book details Phil Callahan's initial discovery of the role and power of paramagnetic rocks in agriculture. By studying the lives, rituals, and agriculture of ancient peoples, he has assembled a first-rate scientific explanation of previously misunderstood ancient practices. Learn how Egyptian priests levitated people, why rocks and soil were brought from one side of the Nile to the other, and how plants act as antennae. Fascinating reading for anyone interested in the miracles of nature and agriculture.

This book is a preview of what is being created from almost six decades of Washington s tinkering with the foodbelt. This is the story of debt, agency mendacity and violations of the law by land banks and Farmers Home Administration so blatant they beggar the imagination. The human dramas detailed are more than an indictment, they are a crime, and a sorrow on the land. Documents with personal stories the plight of the American farmer. Everyone concerned about agriculture should read and understand the message of this book.

Economics

This is a primer that makes clear that the only economics that count must square well with the observed facts. Those facts say that values placed on raw materials as they enter the economic cycle govern the earned income of any economy. Raw Materials Economics is a codification of NORM (National Organization for Raw Materials) thinking. Charts, tables and a special summary by the late Vince Rossiter make Raw Materials Economics a history of the past and a blue print for the future. If you've wanted a better understanding of raw materials economics, this book is a great way to begin.

Rear cover notes: "This sometimes personal testament featuring the work of Neal Kinsey is the best answer to science without conscience that has so offended human reason. At first its seems that consultant Kinsey is reflecting an intellectual attitude loaded with conflict. But this is not the case. He is merely demonstrating how a virgin knowledge is emerging as a test to challenge the integrated exploiters and absconders of our most precious heritage. The result is first rate science that somehow brings organiculture and mainline farming together on speaking terms, and indicts toxic rescue chemistry at the same time."

This book covers the optimal conditions for converting plant and animal wastes into compost by balancing the correct ratio of raw materials, using the correct microorganisms and moisture content, proper pile or wind¬row construction, and efficient mixing. Fletcher Sims, the Dean of Composters, has elevated the ''art'' of good composting to a ''science.'' Explains not only the complexities of commercial-scale compost production, but also the benefits of the use of this gentle fertilizer. This appealing combination of a biography and technical guide was written by the founder of Acres U.S.A.

The inventory of knowledge that is generally warehoused under the classification of biodynamic is rich and timeless, and yet very few farmers have even a nodding acquaintance with the subject. This book performs a rescue operation. A practical, how-to guide to making all of the biodynamic preparations, this book will provide what you need to put these proven techniques to work in your fields. Perhaps the best of the many biodynamic titles currently available. Further explains how to achieve success through CSA-style market garden marketing. A Biodynamic Farm brings the sometimes confusing subject of biodynamics within the grasp of all farmers.

A Biodynamic Farm, For Growing Wholesome Food

Reference

We don’t need to poison the earth in order to grow better food, and what is harmful to the environment when improperly disposed of often can be turned back to the soil in a beneficial way through composting — if you know how. Here’s how. Malcolm Beck’s Garden-Ville is one of the largest commercial composting operations in the country. He shares his insight into the processes of decay that can transform everything from lawn trimmings to sewer sludge into life-giving earth. Coupled with Beck’s insight into nature and practical advice are remarks from Charles Walters, author, founder of Acres U.S.A.

The secret life of compost: A "how-to" & "why" guide to composting-- lawn, garden, feedlot, or farm

Beck, Malcolm

The farmers role is to conduct the symphony of plants and soil. In this book, learn how to coax the most out of your plants by providing the best soil and removing all yield-limiting factors. Donald Schriefer is best known for his "systems" approach to tillage and soil fertility, which is detailed here. Managing soil aeration, water, and residue decay are covered, as well as ridge planting systems, guidelines for cultivating row crops, and managing soil fertility. Develop your own soil fertility system for long-term productivity. 
 This reprint of his first book now qualifies as modern classic of ecological agriculture.
