Reviews
I would not have an Agriscience library without this text. I insist that all the agriculture classes have enough copies of this text on their shelves. When all else fails turn to the Agriscience and Fundamental book, it has a great amount of general background information that is very easy for the student to understand and give a great foundation of agriculture information.
