Too Much Land and The Farmer’s Dilemma
A broad discussion urges restraint in overcropping and overfarming. It warns that large landholdings with inadequate labor waste effort, reduce crops, and harm future yields. Practical advice favors leaving land fallow, using weed litter to restore fertility, and expanding profitable stock raising while noting improvements in cattle and horse breeds and the value of properly managed manure and soil renovators.
