Luke, the author of this book, traveled back to Israel with Paul on the Third Missionary Journey. It is felt by many commentators that he spent two years in the land while Paul was in prison. Luke must have used this special time to do much of his careful research on the gospel materials. We can guess that he made a point to interview leaders like Peter, James, and other principals in the early church. The author of this commentary also spent much time in Israel. For sixteen years the author lived and ministered in the Land of Israel. As a result this commentary has an "Israel flavor" reflecting that experience. Few commentaries can come from this perspective. The author has utilized a great number of quotes, ancient and modern, from the best commentaries and other sources of information. With this single commentary it may be less likely that the reader will need to consult stacks of other materials in preparation for Bible study teaching or preaching.

"Begins with basic soil-plant-water relationships. How to determine water demand. Covers all types of irrigation - flood, solid set, hand lines, wheel lines, pod systems. Includes suggestions and layouts for grazing pastures with irrigation. Economics of water costs, labor costs and costs per acre help determine costs and value of irrigation"--

"I like to say that when you buy an acre of land you get 43,500 square feet of solar panel. When you start thinking about your farm in these terms, the importance of having every acre covered with green, growing grass becomes apparent," Jim Gerrish writes. Gerrish coined the phrase Management-intensive Grazing (MiG), putting the emphasis on management of the growth of the grass. The animals are merely harvesters, like lawnmowers. In Management-intensive Grazing, The Grassroots of Grass Farming, he uses vivid images and detailed explanations to take graziers step-by-step through the MiG system. Written for those new to MiG grazing, Gerrish's insights and personal experience can help experienced graziers fine tune their grazing operations for added income. He begins from the ground up with the soil and advances through the management of pastures and animals, and covers how to manage the water cycle; how to work with legumes; how to stockpile forages for low cost wintering; how to plan and utilize permanent and perimeter fencing; and how to use pasture weaning for health and weight gain. Gerrish's lively chapters explain how to make pasture fertility pay; the power of stock density; how to match forage supply with animal demand; how to judge maximum intake of forage; and how using pasture records offers information, not just data.

With today's management systems, the cost of making hay far exceeds its value to grazing businesses. Studies have shown that winter feed costs are the largest single factor limiting the profitability for most livestock operations. In virtually every area of the USA, year-around grazing--without hay--is possible, yet many graziers continue making hay. Kick the Hay Habit: A Practical Guide To Year-Around Grazing by Jim Gerrish will show you how much it really costs to produce a ton of hay. He explains how to use nature as your guide for low-cost winter grazing; how to conduct a pasture inventory; how to select the optimal breeding and birthing seasons; how to custom design your own winter forage system; and how to make the transition from hay feeding to grazing. Wouldn't you rather spend your time monitoring pastures and moving livestock than making hay? Both the beginner and the experienced grazier will benefit from Kick the Hay Habit. Gerrish shares his personal experiences as a grazier in Missouri and Idaho as well as insights he gained as a researcher at the University of Missouri's Forage Systems Research Center. As a grazing consultant he has helped farmers and ranchers throughout North and South America. Wouldn't you rather Kick the Hay Habit, dump the heavy metal, and start collecting the profits?
