A Practical Guide to the Brutal Realities of the Best Job in the World
Farming Without Losing Your Hat isn’t like most agricultural how-to books. It isn’t particularly romantic or soul stirring. These pages do not include long digressions on soil health or animal behavior. Instead, this book just might be the most honest book about starting a farm ever published. The writing, simple but filled with detailed information, takes a practical-only approach, focusing on the less-glamorous but essential parts of farming and ranching successfully today. Author Paul Dorrance shares from his own real-world experiences and reminds us again and again — farming is not just a calling, it’s also a tough business.
Specifically, you will learn how to:
- build a unique brand and company voice;
- grow a loyal audience to sell to;
- navigate the maze of regulations;
- walk through liabilities and tax implications;
- engage with customers on a real level;
- apply for loans and financing;
- and design a business plan from A-Z.
Don’t wait – pre-order Farming Without Losing Your Hat today!
