Ford Farm Tractors

A history of Ford Motor Company's involvement in the tractor industry, beginning with the legendary Fordson, up through the mergers, buyouts, and all the models in between, like the Ferguson 9N.

Ford Farm Tractors of the 1950s

This colorful history explains the design, production, and marketing of the first Ford and Fordson tractors produced after the company reneged on the late Henry Ford's infamous handshake agreement with Harry Ferguson. Randy Leffingwell's evocative color photography of restored and factory-original examples depicts the classics that Ford first produced when free to market and distribute their tractors as they saw fit. Included are the 8N, notable for its illegal incorporation of Ferguson patents; the NAA, or "Jubilee", which sported the company's Golden Jubilee logo; the Fordson Major, diesel-powered New Major, and beefed up Power Major; the 600, 700, 800 and 900 Series that seriously diversified the company's tractor line; and the three-cylinder Dexta.

Growing a Revolution Bringing Our Soil Back to Life

<b>Finalist for the PEN/E. O. Wilson Literary Science Writing Award<br> <br> "A call to action that underscores a common goal: to change the world from the ground up." —Dan Barber, author of <i>The Third Plate</i> </b><br><p>For centuries, agricultural practices have eroded the soil that farming depends on, stripping it of the organic matter vital to its productivity. Now conventional agriculture is threatening disaster for the world’s growing population. In <i>Growing a Revolution</i>, geologist David R. Montgomery travels the world, meeting farmers at the forefront of an agricultural movement to restore soil health. From Kansas to Ghana, he sees why adopting the three tenets of conservation agriculture—ditching the plow, planting cover crops, and growing a diversity of crops—is the solution. When farmers restore fertility to the land, this helps feed the world, cool the planet, reduce pollution, and return profitability to family farms.</p>
