During a recent trip to Nashville we heard a lot about no-till farming. Farms that use no-till practices lose significantly less soil during heavy rains. They believed that there would not be a farming industry in Tennessee if they hadn’t changed their practices. Interesting stuff. Thank you Heidi!
Farmers in the 1970s were encouraged by the USDA Agriculture Secretary Earl Butz to plant “from fencerow to fencerow” and to “get big or get out.” Yields went up in the first few years, then have been declining ever since. Your Living With History conveys a very important message ... again. Thank you.
