Remarkable Results of Summer Fallowing in Montana
A Montana Development Association bulletin highlights summer fallowing as a soil improving practice for dry farming. It cites a farmer on the high line producing 33 bushels per acre from 5,000% yield improvements with careful soil prep, while another foot hills farmer produced only four bushels per acre on 100 acres. The piece urges wider adoption and notes the Ku Klux Klan’s rising strength and opposition from the South, warning against entrusting society to such groups. It references dairy bank concerns in Mississippi and mentions Roy Gardner’s notoriety and prison guards.
