Download or read book Pig Farm written by Todd Parnell and published by Acclaim Press. This book was released on 2018-09-25 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pig Farm is a taste of the present spread over two centuries past, eight generations of the fictional Snarkle clan in all, grounded in the truth of a non-fictional travesty. It's an historical tall tale set in the context of a real life environmental tragedy, along side America's first national river, the Buffalo. Brimming with humor and colorful characters, riddled with mystery and misfortune, tainted with prejudice and deceit, and laced with money and greed, fiction intersects with fact to paint a disturbing portrait of a "pig farm" over time. At its core, Pig Farm is a recounting of how an ill-conceived and stupidly permitted pig CAFO along side America's first national river might have come to be.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Unlikely pig owners Steve and Derek got a whole lot more than they bargained for when the designer micro piglet they adopted turned out to be a full-sized 600-pound sow! This funny, inspirational story shows how families really do come in all shapes and sizes. In the summer of 2012, Steve Jenkins was contacted by an old friend about adopting a micro piglet. Though he knew his partner Derek wouldn't be enthusiastic, he agreed to take the adorable little pig anyway, thinking he could care for her himself. Little did he know, that decision would change his and Derek's lives forever. It turned out there was nothing "micro" about Esther, and Steve and Derek had actually signed on to raise a full-sized commercial pig. Within three years, Tiny Esther grew to a whopping 600 pounds. After some real growing pains and a lot of pig-sized messes, it became clear that Esther needed much more space, so Steve and Derek made another life-changing decision: they bought a farm and opened the Happily Ever Esther Farm Sanctuary, where they could care for Esther and other animals in need. Funny, heartwarming, and utterly charming, Esther the Wonder Pig follows Steve and Derek's adventure--from reluctant pig parents to farm-owning advocates for animals.

Download or read book The Marvelous Pigness of Pigs written by Joel Salatin and published by FaithWords. This book was released on 2016-05-03 with total page 269 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From Christian libertarian farmer Joel Salatin, a clarion call to readers to honor the animals and the land, and produce food based on spiritual principles. What on earth is The Marvelous Pigness of Pigs? It's an inspiring call to action for people of faith . . . a heartfelt plea to heed the Bible's guidance . . . . It's an important and thought-provoking explanation of how by simply appreciating the marvelous pigness of pigs, we are celebrating the Glory of God. As a man of deep faith and student of the Bible, and as a respected and successful ecological family farmer, Joel Salatin knows that God created heaven and earth and meant for all living organisms to be true to their nature and their endowed holy purpose. He intended for us to respect and care for His gift of creation, not to ravage and mistreat it for our own pleasure or wealth. The example that inspires the book's title explains what Salatin means: when huge corporate farms confine pigs in cramped and dark pens, inject them with antibiotics and feed them herbicide-saturated food simply to increase profits, they are not respecting them as a creation of God or allowing them to express even their most rudimentary uniqueness - that special role that is part of His design. Every living organism has a God-given uniqueness to its life that must be honored and respected, and too often that is not happening today. Salatin shows us the long overlooked ethics and instructions in the Bible for how to eat, how to shop, how to think about how we farm and feed the world. Through scripture and Biblical stories, he shows us why it's more vital than ever to look to the good book rather than corporate America when feeding the country and your family. Salatin makes a compelling case for Christian stewardship of the earth and how it relates to every action we take regarding our food. He also opens our eyes to a common misconception many Christians may have about environmentalism: it's not a bad thing, and definitely not just the province of secular liberals; it's really a very good thing, part of heeding God's Word. With warmth and with humor, but with no less piercing criticism of the industrial food complex, Salatin brings readers on a fascinating journey of farming, food and faith. Readers will not say grace over their plates the same way ever again.

Download or read book Wastelands written by Corban Addison and published by Vintage. This book was released on 2023-09-19 with total page 465 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Beautifully written, impeccably researched, and told with the air of suspense that few writers can handle, Wastelands is a story I wish I had written." —From the Foreword by John Grisham The once idyllic coastal plain of North Carolina is home to a close-knit, rural community that for more than a generation has battled the polluting practices of large-scale farming taking place in its own backyard. After years of frustration and futility, an impassioned cadre of local residents, led by a team of intrepid and dedicated lawyers, filed a lawsuit against one of the world’s most powerful companies—and, miraculously, they won. As vivid and fast-paced as a thriller, Wastelands takes us into the heart of a legal battle over the future of America’s farmland and into the lives of the people who found the courage to fight. There is Elsie Herring, the most outspoken of the neighbors, who has endured racial slurs and the threat of a restraining order to tell the story of the waste raining down on her rooftop from the hog operation next door. There is Don Webb, a larger-than-life hog farmer turned grassroots crusader, and Rick Dove, a riverkeeper and erstwhile military judge who has pioneered the use of aerial photography to document the scale of the pollution. There is Woodell McGowan, a quiet man whose quest to redeem his family’s ancestral land encourages him to become a better neighbor, and Dr. Steve Wing, a groundbreaking epidemiologist whose work on the health effects of hog waste exposure translates the neighbors’ stories into the argot of science. And there is Tom Butler, an environmental savant and hog industry insider whose whistleblowing testimony electrifies the jury. Fighting alongside them in the courtroom is Mona Lisa Wallace, who broke the gender barrier in her small southern town and built a storied legal career out of vanquishing corporate giants, and Mike Kaeske, whose trial skills are second to none. With journalistic rigor and a novelist’s instinct for story, Corban Addison's Wastelands captures the inspiring struggle to bring a modern-day monopoly to its knees, to force a once-invincible corporation to change, and to preserve the rights—and restore the heritage—of a long-suffering community.

This book was released on 2019-08-28 with total page 480 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Learn How To Start a Successful Farm Business That Gives you the Financial Wealth and allows you to Create Job and Employment for Youths and Women in your Rural communities in Africa Are you an African diaspora, professional or you are planning to retire soon from your job to be your boss and run your commercial farm?Or you wish to alleviate poverty for those living in the rural community in Africa through youth and rural empowerment. Or to improve the productivity and livelihood of farmers from subsistence to commercial farming in Africa, this is the right book for you. This book was written by an experienced farmer and trainer to help bridge the knowledge gap required to establish and operate a successful commercial farm in Africa. It is a practical and easy to understand guide that will help you take their ideas from conception through to implementing, operating and profitably marketing of your product. It's also a handy resource for the more experienced pig-keeper who occasionally needs to dip into a quick-reference manual for help and reassurance.This book is divided into three sections: Business sectionFarm operations sectionThe marketing section In the business section of the book, we consider each of these topics in details1. Why this is a good time to invest in farming in Africa2. Reasons why people are venturing into commercial pig farming3. The correct attitudes of a successful commercial farmer4. How much capital do you need to start a commercial farm?5. How to raise fund your farmFarm Operations section, we look at:1. Where to locate your farm, important factors to consider such as the size and the location of your farm, e.g. proximity to market and feed suppliers, good neighbourliness, accessibility 2. Factors and things to consider when building your farm 3. How to choose the best pigs and transport them to the farm4. How to manage your different categories of pigs boar, gilt, sow, weaners and piglets throughout their different stages of life, e.g. detecting heat, mating, pregnancy, farrowing and weaning.The uniqueness of this book is that it did not only tell the farmer what to do alone but also exposed the physiology and anatomy of pigs that are relevant for farmers. It uses this to explain what the pig is going through during the stressful and critical situations like mating, pregnancy etc. and how a farmer can better assist the pig.In the final section, we look at the various stakeholders who are involved in moving our pigs from the farmgate to the consumer in sub-Sahara Africa. And how this relationship affects the market price of your product from the farm gate to the consumer. We also look at different methods of adding value to your farm products and how best to position and market your product profitably. As a diaspora farmer, I tried to strike a balance between the attractive features of living on the farm and being your boss, but I also emphasised the unpleasant and tough ones. It is my sincere hope that this book will help you to avoid failure, delay, disappointment, and mistakes that are typical of people who are new to farming. It should also help you to attain the satisfaction that characterises personal and well-directed efforts in agriculture.
