About this product
Product Information
Wildly Successful Farming tells the stories of farmers across the American Midwest who are balancing profitability and food production with environmental sustainability and a passion for all things wild. They are using innovative techniques and strategies to develop their "wildly" successful farms as working ecosystems. Whether producing grain, vegetables, fruit, meat, or milk, these next-generation agrarians look beyond the bottom line of the spreadsheet to the biological activity on the land as key measures of success. Written by agricultural journalist Brian DeVore, the book is based on interviews he has conducted at farms, wildlife refuges, laboratories, test plots, and gardens over the past twenty-five years. He documents innovations in cover cropping, managed rotational grazing, perennial polyculture, and integrated pest management. His accounts provide insight into the impacts regenerative farming methods can have on wildlife, water, landscape, soils, and rural communities and suggest ways all of us can support wildly successful farmers.

Reviews
"Meet optimistic realists--farmers, conservationists, and scientists--blurring occupational boundaries to reveal a world in which agriculture and ecology are productively intertwined. These are outliers in a sea of corn and soybeans (and resultant depauperate ecosystems), but their stories, told often enough, can change all of that." --Karen Oberhauser, director, University of Wisconsin-Madison Arboretum, "We don't have to choose between healthy land and productive land--we can have both. DeVore's careful chronicling of Midwest farmers who practice an agriculture that respects and supports nature will give you hope for the future." --Kristin Ohlson, author of The Soil Will Save Us, "Rich in the stuff of life. Its pages are full of people you'd like to meet, countryside you'd like to see, bees and bobolinks, beauty and soil. It feels like cheating to read it, knowing that you're sharing in insights that others have gained through years of sweat and careful, loving observations of the land. The problems of the world are not all solved. But where things are moving in a good direction, these are some of the people who are likely behind it. . . . To convey everything that is great and affirming about this book would take a book."-- Agate Magazine, "Most Americans have forgotten that the success of agriculture depends on the wild world it so often displaces. These farmers remind us that those two vital elements need not be mutually exclusive--indeed, the success of food production depends on a healthy natural world." --Lisa M. Hamilton, author of Deeply Rooted, "Meet optimistic realists--farmers, conservationists, and scientists--blurring occupational boundaries to reveal a world in which agricultural and ecology are productively intertwined. These are outliers in a sea of corn and soybeans (and resultant depauperate ecosystems), but their stories, told often enough, can change all of that." --Karen Oberhauser, director, University of Wisconsin-Madison Arboretum

The book is in perfect condition, brand new, and is exactly as described. This item is difficult to find here, and the seller priced it very reasonably. It shipped from the UK to Canada, and unfortunately took a little longer to arrive than the seller hoped, but it was shipped less than 24 hours after I purchased. When I contacted the seller, they were very responsive and helpful. I would not hesitate to purchase from this seller again. Definitely recommend!
