Turning the Sods

By Dr Doug Edmeades

‘This book is a very valuable technical contribution to pastoral agriculture in New Zealand. Doug Edmeades’ collection of columns in the agricultural press over many years contain a mine of information, particularly for the livestock farmer, but also for all agriculturalists.

‘It is written in plain english, with a sprinkling from the English classics, and humour. Not too many technical terms, just the principles of plant nutrition and how to optimize this. Not a diagram or an url for a website to be seen.
‘I unreservedly reommend this book to all. There should be a copy on the desk or bedside table of all farmers, agricultural professionals and students.’
