What reading level is Agriculture a Text for the Farm book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:

And even yet, its value is but little understood, and the methods of its growth are not generally known.
Acreage of alfalfa. At present barely one-tenth as many acres are devoted to alfalfa as to clover and tim- othy, and one-ninth as many as are put in wheat. We have twenty acres in corn to every acre in alfalfa. Yet the amount of land devoted to alfalfa is increasing every year, and it will soon become one of our principal forage crops.
The alfalfa region. The alfalfa region of the United Sta
...tes at present lies principally west of the Mississippi River. Out of about five million acres of alfalfa raised in the entire country, Kansas grows one million acres, or one- fifth of the crop.
Alfalfa is especially adapted to dry soils and climates, and is therefore of the greatest value in the semi-arid re- gions of the West. Utah, Arizona, Colorado, Idaho and other western states are using alfalfa to make fertile many acres of soil almost barren for other crops.
The great corn belt states are admirably adapted to the raising of alfalfa, but have as yet done little with it.
