Description
Born to Farm offers an absorbing and fascinating glimpse into the world of farming over the past 90 years. Through his own experiences, David Black shares his enthusiasm for learning and his practical skills, which have enabled him to stay ahead of the curve while building up his family's farm in Suffolk. From his early memories of the 1930s to his later challenges as a farmer, Black's story is one of lifelong learning and problem-solving. He recounts his experiences with everyday farming tasks, from harnessing horses to breeding pigs, and shares insights into the evolution of farming practices in the UK and USA during the mid-20th century. With humour and candour, Black describes the challenges and triumphs of running a farm, including changes to field sizes, farm buildings, and housing for workers. His story highlights the value of sharing knowledge and cooperation with other farmers, making this an engaging and informative read for anyone interested in agriculture or rural life.
