Plowman's Folly and A Second Look (Conservation Classics)

As the ruinous Dust Bowl settled in the early 1940s, agronomist Edward Faulkner dropped what Naturemagazine termed "an agricultural bombshell" when he blamed the then universally used moldboard plow for disastrous pillage of the soil. Faulkner's assault on the orthodoxy of his day will stimulate today's farmers to seek out fresh solutions to the problems that plague modern American agriculture. Plowman's Follyis bound together here with its companion volume A Second Look.Edward H. Faulkner is the author of 'Plowman's Folly and A Second Look (Conservation Classics)', published 1988 under ISBN 9780933280519 and ISBN 0933280513.
