Pastured Poultry Profit$

by Joel Salatin

Description

A couple working six months per year for 50 hours per week on 20 acres can net $25,000 to $30,000 per year with an investment equivalent to the price of one new medium-sized tractor. Seldom has agriculture held out such a plum. In a day when mainline farm experts predict the continued demise of the family farm, the pastured poultry opportunity shines like a beacon in the night, guiding the way to a brighter future.

Really needs a full update and re-edit, but this is the classic that changed a whole industry. Slam full of information. Make sure you take notes as you read or you will never find those nuggets again.
