520    A practical, systems-based approach for a more sustainable
       farming operation  To many people today, using the words 
       "factory" and "farm" in the same sentence is nothing short
       of sacrilege. In many cases, though, the same sound 
       business practices apply whether you are producing cars or
       carrots. Author Ben Hartman and other young farmers are 
       increasingly finding that incorporating the best new ideas
       from business into their farming can drastically cut their
       wastes and increase their profits, making their farms more
       environmentally and economically sustainable. By 
       explaining the lean system for identifying and eliminating
       waste and introducing efficiency in every aspect of the 
       farm operation, The Lean Farm makes the case that small-
       scale farming can be an attractive career option for young
       people who are interested in growing food for their 
       community. Working smarter, not harder, also prevents the 
       kind of burnout that start-up farmers often encounter in 
       the face of long, hard, backbreaking labor.  Lean 
       principles grew out of the Japanese automotive industry, 
       but they are now being followed on progressive farms 
       around the world. Using examples from his own family's one
       -acre community-supported farm in Indiana, Hartman clearly
       instructs other small farmers in how to incorporate lean 
       practices in each step of their production chain, from 
       starting a farm and harvesting crops to training employees
       and selling goods. While the intended audience for this 
       book is small-scale farmers who are part of the growing 
       local food movement, Hartman's prescriptions for high-
       value, low-cost production apply to farms and businesses 
       of almost any size or scale that hope to harness the power
       of lean in their production processes.
