Summary

"What I Know of Farming" by Horace Greeley is a late 19th-century handbook designed to guide aspiring and current farmers toward success in agriculture. Rather than relying solely on scientific jargon, Greeley uses his experiences and direct observations to outline effective farming techniques. The book highlights the value of hard work, smart planning, and realistic expectations in overcoming the inevitable struggles of farming. Greeley uses his own journey into agriculture to connect with the reader. The motivational approach shows the reader that success is possible through diligence and informed decision-making.
