Market Farming

["Wiediger, Alison" <awiediger AT Hart.k12.ky.us>]

You might want to check with your local library's used books sale room.  Our
library runs a sale once a year, but in larger cities, they may run one more
often.  In Lexington, KY, the room is open on regular days.  I actually
found "Small Scale Grain Raising" this past fall at the Lexington book store
, excellent condition(maybe not even ever read, with dust cover), for $15.00
(most books are .50 to 1.50).  I picked it up immediately - had wanted it
for years.  Just another possible source for those older farming books - we
have a couple of bookshelves that are filled with these finds.  We also have
a lot of duplicates from the 1970's - a great time for practical farming
books.  When we married 4 years ago, and merged our libraries, we had many
of the same titles(apparently we'd been on parallel courses for over 20
years - shame we didn't meet sooner).  If anyone is interested, email me and
we'll check to see exactly what.
