Customer Reviews

Worth every penny! An excellent resource for farmers willing to think outside the box.

At the time of this writing, this book has a 2.5 star average across 8 ratings (all left with no accompanying written review). I would guess that the relatively poor rating is due to the perceived excessive price point. However, this book is exactly what it claims to be: a detailed set of fully illustrated step-by-step instructions showing how to build the exact implements Joel designed and uses on his own farm. For the DIY-type willing to think outside the box, this book is an excellent resource worth every penny.
