Inspired by growing fruit for nearly two centuries, Harvest for Profit is an important book for small farms. Ruth Linton is a 6th generation farmer who has developed her small acreage family farm to achieve consistent profitability while farming sustainably. Fine tuning her growing practices on the family farm, Ruth Linton has focused on fruit that is beneficial for growers on 3 acres or less. With decades of experience in direct-to-consumer sales, she walks the growers through how to grow, how to harvest at the correct time, how to store and for how long, and then how to sell these unusual fruits for a good profit. By minimizing the labor required to grow and maintain the fruit, the farmer can then improve profits with sales that benefit the farm and the customer. Harvest for Profit is ideal for young farmers just starting out or for established farmers who want to expand into more productive growing. This is a practical guide to taking steps to increase the profit for the small farm. Harvest for Profit’s goal: Grow more profit with fewer work hours.

Excerpt from Successful Farming: How to Farm for Profit, the Latest Methods The need of a practical work on agriculture has long been felt. At one time the farmer but "tickled the ground with a hoe and the land laughed with a harvest." At present average conditions are vastly different. While the science of agriculture has made rapid advance during recent years, the tiller of the soil has been slow to apply the principles thus taught. By employing methods based upon scientific principles, our farmers may largely increase their profits, in fact, they may rival the returns of the "good, old days." "Successful Farming" is written to meet the wants of those desiring information in the latest methods of profitable farming. The aim, too, has been to show in plain language, that scientific farming is synonymous with successful farming. Mr. Rennie endeavored to give the reader the benefit of his long experience as a farmer. The book contains such ideas as can be readily carried out. The sections on the Restoring and Maintaining of Soil Fertility, the Destruction of Foul Weeds, the Conservation of Soil Moisture, Shallow Cultivation and. Crop Rotation, are of special importance. Considerable attention has been given to the garden and the orchard. Much practical advice is given in the divisions dealing with the Farm Buildings, Fencing, Ditching, and the Care of Live Stock.

This book documents frontier knowledge on the drivers of agriculture productivity to derive pragmatic policy advice for governments and development partners on reducing poverty and boosting shared prosperity. The analysis describes global trends and long-term sources of total factor productivity growth, along with broad trends in partial factor productivity for land and labor, revisiting the question of scale economies in farming. Technology is central to growth in agricultural productivity, yet across many parts of the developing world, readily available technology is never taken up. We investigate demand-side constraints of the technology equation to analyze factors that might influence producers, particularly poor producers, to adopt modern technology. Agriculture and food systems are rapidly transforming, characterized by shifting food preferences, the rise and growing sophistication of value chains, the increasing globalization of agriculture, and the expanding role of the public and private sectors in bringing about efficient and more rapid productivity growth. In light of this transformation, the analysis focuses on the supply side of the technology equation, exploring how the enabling environment and regulations related to trade and intellectual property rights stimulate Research and Development to raise productivity. The book also discusses emerging developments in modern value chains that contribute to rising productivity. This book is the fourth volume of the World Bank Productivity Project, which seeks to bring frontier thinking on the measurement and determinants of productivity to global policy makers.
