Books about agriculture? Preferably fiction. I've already read Harvest Home.

Hm ok I guess I could read another Steinbeck since I've read Grapes of Wrath a long time ago.

Haven't read everything on this chart yet, but can definitely recommend The Good Earth. As I Lay Dying is great too, though it doesn't spend as much time talking about farming and agriculture.

Any good non-skitzo works about agriculture that are non-fiction?

Oh damn I thought I was on /tg/ for a second. Agricola is good, but I like Le Havre way more. I played Caverna one time, but it was just too much stuff for my smooth brain

There was one book about the agricultural revolution of the 170s that i liked... forgot what it was, but very interesting. Part of it detailed how prussia drined a lot of swamps for cultivation, new tech, as well as cultivation methods that helped spure that population growth that would (amoung other things like the seconomic revolution) spure the industrial revolution.

Masanobu Fukuoka's if you are interested in natural farming. His method is especially relevant because it is meant to emancipate both nature and farmers by keeping it simple from A to Z.

Le Havre gets a bit railroaded in the late game and Caverna is not tight enough. Agricola and Nusfjord are where it's really at.
