This is a list of most of the books on soil, grazing, agriculture, and biochar I have read. I had ChatGPT parse the titles and authors from a folder of .md files. Did a fairly decent job; one that I really didn't want to do by hand.

There are a lot more books in my library. These are just the ones on Kindle.

These books form the core of why I think about soil the way I do.

Editors and translators for the English version I suppose.

Do you have a ranking or a rubric for best places in US to buy land that is optimized for soil and water?

I do not. That would be a pretty big undertaking and could change at the drop of a dime but it would be cool to have.

Awesome list. Thanks!
