I have both of those books, too, and find them helpful. You know what else, though? I've actually read the stickies posted with the different forums. Some of them are rules of the site, but quite a few of them are cs informational and/or offer links to even more information. Your question is too broad; it takes a book to answer you. (smile) If you narrow it down after reading something specific in the books, it would be easier to get information/advice/opinions from the people here, which is really nice because of the differing perspectives of breeders, multiple-corn owners, one corn owners...
