County agricultural agent Orville Walker of Kalkaska County details a soil-building system using rye and buckwheat as green manures. He drills rye in late August, applies 3-12-12 fertilizer, top-dresses with nitrogen in April, and disc downs before heading. Buckwheat is sown in June with high-nitrogen fertilizer, then tilled down in full bloom.
