The Capabilities of Iowa Soil and Drought Lessons
The Iowa City Press discusses drought as a lesson in soil care, praising thorough cultivation, intelligent farming, and soil replenishment. It highlights a long-cultivated eighty acre farm near town, noting fall plowing, early crops, and deep roots that endure drought, while cautioning that clay and shallow soils still need management. The piece argues farming has moved from reliance on providence to stewardship, with rain as a bonus rather than a sole driver.
