Father of Dry Farming Described in Nebraska Pioneer
The article profiles H W Campbell of Lincoln, Nebraska, called the father of dry farming in the United States. It recounts his Dakota Territory experiment with minimal equipment, his discovery of moisture under old furrow tracks, and his method using cisterns and limited seed to yield high wheat per acre. Campbell operates multiple farms in North Dakota, Texas, Nebraska, and Alberta, and claims yields of 60 to 200 bushels per acre under his system, asserting dry-farming advances stem from his experiments and practices.
