Oscar H. Will III is editor of GRIT and CAPPER’s rural lifestyle magazines and Karen K. Will is editor of Heirloom Gardener. They willpromote through these publications, and other Ogden Publications like Mother Earth News, Herb Companion and Natural Home and Garden Oscar has published 5 books related to agricultural machinery and hundreds of magazine articles and columns (Mother Earth News, GRIT, Farm Collector, Green Magazine, and others. Karen has published Cooking with Heirlooms and has also published articles, columns and blogs. The book is unique because it focuses on fun, no- or lo-cost solutions and is aimed at a somewhat younger, less financially secure and largely neophyte demographic. The book also spans the rural – urban range and brings fresh new/old ideas to the table such as keeping animals for the unconventional labor they can supply. The book brings to light old solutions to homesteading problems and adapting them for today and considers the economy. For example, livestock can make a great money-saving addition to your operation for the labor, services and enjoyment they can provide. Plowing With Pigs is not another rehash of the topics covered in the books listed in comparable titles; rather it offers a fresh perspective and low-cost solutions.
