In 1997-1998, these leaflets were part of a traveling display that focused on sustainable agriculture. The roadshow display was featured at agricultural trade shows throughout the midwest and northwest United States. Farmers raising crops and livestock by conventional production methods were the target audience. The Planting Your Farm's Future series are short, concise leaflets that grab attention. They are easy to read, they provide a quick summary, and they list a few additional resources. The titles cover a range of topics of interest to farmers, including profiles of farmers who've adapted sustainable farming methods. -------------------------------------------------------------- Alternative Beef Marketing Integrated Pest Management Field Peas & Vetch in Crop Rotations Field Peas & Lentils in Crop Rotations The Swedish Deep-Bedded System - The Future of Hog Farming?
