Even Agriculture Academics Have Something Nice to Say About Marijuana

'As you'd expect from such a publication, the "Field Guide" is packed with information. Academics love data and there are statistics and descriptions of everything you could possibly think of -- and some that you wouldn't -- involving food production in this state. From almonds to bees (bees are livestock!), goats to garlic, eggplant to marijuana (“the largest value crop by far in the state’s lineup”), hogs to hay, Starrs and Goins document the shocking amount of stuff we humans put in our mouths. The sheer amount of encyclopedic information should make this book required reading for every serious foodie, gardener and farmer’s market junkie on the West Coast.'
