Fire may replace the plough on prairie grain fields
Experiments at the Dominion Experimental Station in Swift Current show burning straw after harvest yields more grain than traditional ploughing. In 1927 tests, burned fields produced 26.5 bushels per acre versus 21.6 from ploughed, harrowed, and seeded land. If widely adopted, burning after summer-fallow could cut costs and labor on western farms while reducing weed seeds.
