Lesson From a Mule Sparks Massive Wheat Boom in West
A South Dakota farmer named H. W. Campbell credited a lame mule crossing his ruined field twenty five years ago with revolutionizing western agriculture. Observing packed soil in mule tracks, he developed a method that boosted wheat yields and spurred widespread cultivation. Campbell now owns thousands of acres across North Dakota Texas Nebraska Alberta and South Dakota, earning about sixty bushels per acre. The anecdote ties to broader notes about Smith and ancient texts, but the core tale centers on Campbell and the mule sparked farming transformation.
