Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
With contributions from more than 60 contemporary draftanimalpowered farmers and equipment manufacturersNow is a time of exciting new developments for live animal power. As the numbers of adherents to this way of life grow, ecologically minded farmers in their fields are developing efficient horsedrawn systems, and equipment manufacturers in small shops all across North America and Europe are coming forth with new innovations in grounddrive technology that have us poised on the cusp of another agricultural revolutionwith working horses, mules, donkeys, and oxen at the heart of it.Stephen Leslies first book, The New HorsePowered Farm, presented an overview of the many facets of running a small, diversified farm with live horse power. HorsePowered Farming for the 21st Century is focused entirely on the tools and methods required to successfully manage the horsepowered market garden with draft animal power. However, this is not a stepbystep howto guide outlining one single system, but rather a manual that presents a range of options and approaches. Leslie examines the function and use of all the implements typically employed on a contemporary draftanimalpowered market garden and illustrates these points with insightful reports from the field, farm profiles, and homebuilt solutions contributed by over sixty draft animalpowered farmers from across North America and Europe.Each teamsters story represents a patch in a quilt that is woven together with a narrative thread to guide the reader through the whole fabric of the growing season, from soil preparation to harvest. The book structure follows the seasonal progression of implements, beginning with several examples of contemporary draftanimalpowered produce farms; next an examination of the versatile utility of forecarts; then taking an indepth look at fertility management on the farm; moving on through primary and secondary tillage, seeding and transplanting; then on to the multifold options for cultivators, tool carriers, and multipurpose implements, with technical harnessing and hitching details for the best use of the implements. For experienced teamsters and beginning market growers farming with horses, this is an invaluable and oneofakind guide, sure to last forever in the agricultural canon.
