Summary "What I Know of Farming" by Horace Greeley is a practical agricultural guide written in the late 19th century. This work aims to provide insights into effective farming techniques based on observations and experiences rather than purely scientific principles. Greeley's intention is to share the knowledge and strategies that can lead to more productive and fulfilling farming practices, appealing to both beginners and those seeking to improve their methods. The opening of the text lays the groundwork for Greeley’s argument that farming can be a rewarding venture if approached with the right mindset and knowledge. He discusses the pitfalls of underestimating the challenges faced by those who enter farming without experience and emphasizes the importance of hard work and good management in achieving success. Greeley reflects on his personal journey in agriculture, acknowledging his own limitations while expressing a heartfelt desire to encourage others to pursue farming thoughtfully. He poses questions about the profitability of farming and shares anecdotes illustrating that diligent and informed effort can yield significant rewards, setting a motivational tone for the chapters that follow.
