Description

On the Smell of an Oily Rag: My 50 Years in Farming by John Cherrington.'One of the best known characters in farming today is John Cherrington - author, broadcaster, lecturer and practical farmer. His fifty years of farming experience ranges from England to New Zealand and includes a wide variety of arable and livestock projects. He has built staircases, sheared sheep, skinned bulls and fought politicians. He has never been afraid to experiment with new ideas, and has never refused to admit that a project has gone wrong and that it is time to cut his losses. He is a man of strong opinions, which he is always ready to air; and he has the most comprehensive grasp of the contemporary farming industry of any journalist currently writing. Perhaps his finest gift is that of 'cutting through the guff' and reaching the nub of complicated ideas, which he then translates into plain common sense.' The dust cover has medium general wear with tape ghosting but the book remains tight and bright.' Ex Library Book with all the usual stamps and markings.
