An oldie, but still some interesting information, "Gardening for Profit" by Peter Henderson.

I've recently picked up a few books that i think are worth a mention."The Organic Grain Grower" by Jack Lazor: This book is sure to become the primary text on organic grains. Unlike the only other two grain books that I think that could be compared to this one (by Logsdon and Pitzer), this book is meant for the professional. Although he isn't a small-scale grain grower, this book is just as useful to the small farmer. This book addresses any aspect of growing organic grains that one could imagine."The Market Gardener" by Jean-Martin Fortier: A well organized and well written book for beginner to intermediate bio-intensive farmers. This book is an abridged, updated "New Organic Grower", except that it is more focused on the business side of it."The Intelligent Gardener" by Steve Solomon: This is primarily about building well-balanced, mineralized soils to grow nutrient dense foods. Solomon calls this his most important book and has revised many of his ideas on soils. Before reading this book I was not entirely sure about best practices when it comes to soils. Not only does it now seem clear to me, it seems embarrassingly obvious.Do others have recommendations?Aaron
