Drought Teaches Dry Farming Value and Yields
Spokane official John T Burns argues the drought is a blessing in disguise showing dry farming works when properly followed. He cites Claud Hollingsworth's 600 acre Colfax farm with 40-50 bushels per acre wheat and 27-30 bushels winter wheat as proof, while neighboring farms suffer. He notes Rapid City convention where many farmers expect yields to exceed previous years. The piece contrasts dry farming with mere reliance on rains and highlights policy measures for fire prevention and enforcement in forest areas.
