 Humor -Miscellaneous Our Price

#192380 Any Fool Can Be A Dairy Farmer, by James Robertson.  This is a great story about the young James Robertson as he set out for the beautiful, badger-haunted fields of Devon to turn grass into gold via the medium of milk. It only took an encounter with his first cow to realize that he would need the survival instincts of the SAS if he were to live to appreciate this rural idyll.  His cows did not seem to live up to their public image of placid benevolence and created a working environment as ruthless as that of the London advertising agency from which he had escaped. There were cows with sharpshooter hooves; an amorous bull set on enjoying the favors of a neighbor's herd – or even those of the farmer himself, should he turn his back – and the terrible tyranny of a new-born calf.  The author’s sharp observations and memory for detail ensure that all these humorous possibilities are fully exploited. Softcover, 192 pgs, List $13.99 $12.95

#192381 Any Fool Can Be a Pig Farmer, by James Robertson.  Another great story from the young James Robertson about the sagas of agriculture and country life.  He describes how the young and inexperienced Robertson was even more prone to disaster than the older and still inexperienced Robertson.

Persuade a sow not to eat her young? Survive an investigation by the Inland Revenue? Stay out of jail when your newly insured barn goes up in smoke?  Any Fool Can be a Pig Farmer shows the other side of the rural idyll. It is painful, real and very funny.
