As we were starting to gather up our favorite links for this week for
Sunday Reading, we realized that an awful lot of them were coming from Modern Farmer, a new style agricultural online and digital pub that launched officially this week. The debut issue is on newsstands now and features pieces on monsoon season in India, the rise of organic farming in China, how wild boars may take over the world, and a deep look at the current state of humane slaughter, but we've been reading the website for weeks now for info on self-driving tractors, how to build a straw bale house, a look at the queen of butter, and it's overall nearly perfect balance in reflecting both the romance and harsh realities of farming today.
Check it out.
