If you live in the country and raise food, get your hands on this catalog. No rural town or county library should be without it. Rodale has taken John Boyd's work for Intermediate Technology Publications on appropriate agricultural tools for the third world, and added a very comprehensive listing for American-made tools, old and new. Access to dealers, foreign and domestic, is included. Chapters on hand tools, tractors, tillers, cultivating implements, planting and harvesting equipment, threshers, and more, all illustrated. A healthy respect for the farmer as tinkerer and recycler of old machinery is shown throughout.
Before you go out and reinvent the wheel, flip through these pages; somebody may have beat you to it.
[Richard Nilsen, The Next Whole Earth Catalog p.131]
