The Rural Voice, 1982-10, Page 22Reference library
for farmers
Several farm management people we
have talked with have suggested that it
would be helpful if farmers had their own
reference library where they could often
find solutions to their problems and also
they could check up on the `expert' advice
they constantly receive from many sour-
ces.
From time to time we will publish
information about books which have been
recommended to us. We will give you
titles, publishers, prices and when pos-
sible, where to buy the books. Here are a
few suggestions you may want to consi-
der.
