South AfricaUnhappy customer
This book was ordered in November and now in January I am still waiting for it. More disappointing is that Acres are not replying to my emails to seek assistance with following up the order. I am feeling cheated
United Statesessential information
Having worked with Dr. Wheeler and Dr. Skow in the past, I consider this an essential book to keep on the reference shelf of the farm office. It is that relevant and the contents enable one to break free of the 19th century paradigm paralysis that has affected so many farmers.
