Water and mineral-rich soils in these spots hinder crops, while heavy manuring can restore fertility. Wallows, mixed with clay soils and mineral traces, rendered ground unfit for grain or vegetables, a phenomenon observed since early settlement and linked to buffalo, elk, deer, and antelope migrations.
