From its first printing in 1934, The Weekly Times Farmers Handbook has informed generations of farmers on the way of the land, with useful tips and invaluable advice.

Few farms would be without a well-thumbed copy.

After almost two decades since the last version, we are proud to present the ninth edition of the Farmers Handbook, completely revised with up-to-date information on all things farming, from livestock production, cropping, machinery and animal health to organic farming, beekeeping and home butchering.
