Humus Lessons From Inverners Experimental Station
The Inverners Experimental Station in the Upper Columbia Valley tests humus supply for semi arid farming. A four year rotation including ten tons per acre farm manure on oat stubble and ploughing under the crop aims to improve soil moisture use. A five year rotation uses two years of clover roots with manure on wheat stubble, seeking economical results. An adjoining plot compares with and without humus to measure water use and crop profitability.
