when reading some guides which tend to be more commercial in
nature.
This guide however is specifically targeted at
smallholders, providing practical advice which can be easily understood
and successfully put into practice.
Jeremy Hunt has been an
agricultural writer for more than 20 years and keeps sheep himself.
