Why Soils Wear Out On Farms Across The Country
Dr. F. T. Shutt notes soils lose essential nutrients through crops. A 25 bushel wheat crop removes 30 lb nitrogen, 12 lb phosphoric acid, 7 lb potash. 200 bushel potatoes remove 42 lb nitrogen, 18 lb phosphoric acid, 60 lb potash. Average season loss about 36 lb nitrogen, 15 lb phosphoric acid, 33 lb potash. Available supplies would deplete in 113 years nitrogen, 268 years phosphoric acid, 227 years potash without renewal. Return of plant foods is required to maintain soil.
