A Iowa farmer discusses water sources for crops, rainwater benefits, drainage, soil moisture, and alkali issues. He notes hedges as windbreaks and birds controlling pests, cites a 5 foot hedge trimming law, and stresses soil capillarity and moisture retention in prairie soils for better yields.
The author explains timing for clover without uniform practice, recommending at least two years before plowing to let roots mature and nitrogen nodules form, and advises against early pasturing. He notes fall sowing risks in Iowa, suggests sowing alone for humus and fall pasture, and discusses turning broom corn stalks under to improve soil and boost yields.
