About this title

Synopsis

This book is the culmination of Acres U.S.A. founder Charles Walters’ lifetime of experience, written in his honest, straight-ahead style, outlining how the small farmer-entrepreneur can find his way to a profitable bottom line. A Farmer's Guide to the Bottom Line provides how-to information on each step from planning to implementation of business practices for the eco-friendly farm and includes examples of people who are making a living, and a profit, by demanding a fair price for their labor. Whether you are considering taking up farming as an occupation or just interested in the economics and history of farming, this book is a must-read.

About the Author

Charles Walters' childhood was marked first by the Dust Bowl, then by the Great Depression. He came of age doing military service in the waning days of World War II, and earned a master's degree in economics on the G.I. Bill. He gained experience as editor for the National Farmer's Organization (NFO), a group dedicated to the idea of using collective bargaining to obtain a better deal for the family farmer. In 1970 he began his own monthly publication Acres U.S.A., as a voice for eco-agriculture. In his spare time he authored thousands of articles and numerous books on the technologies of eco-agriculture.

A tireless traveler, Walters journeyed to Egypt, Cuba, Australia, and Brazil (among others), always returning with long, insightful articles about the rural culture and agricultural practices he found and the people he met.
