Description
The Lean Farm Guide to Growing Vegetables offers practical strategies for market vegetable growers to implement lean thinking in their work. By applying principles originally developed by the Japanese auto industry, farmers can increase efficiency and profitability while reducing waste.
Ben Hartman shares specific methods for implementing lean techniques in every area of farming, including land use, germination, machinery, composting, pest control, and planning. These tested methods help farmers become more successful and enjoy their work, without compromising on quality or customer demand.
Focusing on waste-free farming that produces better food, not just cheaper produce, this guide provides valuable insights for farmers looking to stay flexible and profitable in the face of changing weather and markets.
