Transform your land with Water for Any Farm by Mark Shepard, a comprehensive guide to optimizing water resources for sustainable farming. As a Tough Kraut homesteader, I’ve been inspired by Shepard’s wisdom through podcasts like Regenerative Skills and his videos, which fuel my vision for a greener, more livable earth. This book equips landowners to boost site productivity, enhance drought resistance, and create a life-filled landscape. With over 25 years of experience distilled into practical strategies, it’s a must-have for making your homestead thrive.
