When a banker trades his desk for dirt, chaos and comedy follow.

A curious narrator recounts his dramatic turn from city life to farm life in What I Do Not Know of Farming, a witty eye‑opening memoir that starts with a simple ad and ends in a barnyard adventure.

What begins as a dream of rural bliss quickly spills into a string of missteps, gentle satire, and hard‑learned lessons. The narrator’s attempt to “talk to Jennie about it” and his grand plans for fertilizing with science go hilariously wrong, revealing a world where intuition, stubborn will, and good humor shape every misadventure. This edition follows a man who buys a farm, bungles a few plows, and discovers that practical farming is far messier—and funnier—than any book on the subject.

Follow a well‑meaning beginner as he navigates farm life, from mistaken experiments to stubborn resolve
Meet a cast of characters who lend humor and color to country living
Experience surprising, often ridiculous, attempts at tools, techniques, and deliveries gone awry
Enjoy a lighthearted, candid look at the gap between theory and practice on the land

Ideal for readers who enjoy humorous, light‑hearted stories about rural beginnings and the stubborn spirit it takes to chase a dream.
