The Overpowered Village Farmer 2
(2026)(The second book in the Crooked Acre series)
A novel by Clay Whitlock
[Farmer. Level 65.] Nobody has cut hay on the valley floor in forty years.
Aldred Coverley spent fourteen years digging the king’s ditches with a class the army never promoted. The system kept count anyway, and the first radishes he grew on forty acres of sour, dead ground paid back every spadeful in one evening. Now he can pull a plough without an ox. He reads a field by laying his palm on it: a number from nothing to a hundred. Above twenty, the pale creep that strangles crops at night can’t get in. Past forty, the ground holds for good. Start with Book 1: The Overpowered Village Farmer.
Hilde the miller walks down the village street on his arm after church now, and Bridey at the alehouse says good morning and not one word more. It’s costing her.
This summer, he wants hay.
The water meadow is twelve acres of rushes and standing pools, its river gates rotted off their hinges. Ephraim, the old sheep breeder up the hill, has bought eight ewe lambs on the strength of it. He wants two stacks by winter. He doesn’t expect to see them.
So: choked drains, lime on credit, and a borrowed scythe never meant for a man Aldred’s size. There are new skills to earn behind that blade.
Good ground is news. A thatcher’s family walks in out of the rain, and his wife grew up making hay. A couple from town arrive with a lame red cow.
So does Septimus Prowse, a market gardener with money, glass bells and thirty years of being right. He has bought every empty holding around Aldred’s farm, and he’s certain the secret is in the dirt. Or under it. His diggers are sinking pits beside the one quarter-acre in the valley that never soured.
What comes up out of those pits is grey water, and it runs straight into Aldred’s meadow. The meadow’s number starts to drop. At twenty, the creep can take the standing hay in a single night.
And the grass isn’t fit to cut until it flowers. At the corner of Prowse’s ground sits a boulder that six men and a windlass couldn’t shift in a week.
Nettle the goat has found the clover. She has one horn, and the hurdles were not built with her in mind. Dilly, who scares Aldred’s crows for eggs, has hired help of her own. Two eggs a week.
Before the summer’s out, Aldred means to have a rick in the yard and every forkful under thatch.
For fans of Legends & Lattes, Beware of Chicken, and The Tired Mercenary Just Wants to Farm in Peace.
