Insects Key to Alfalfa Seed Yields Say Researchers
An entomologist reports insects, not fertility or weather, mainly drive alfalfa seed production. Starting in 1941, tests with sulfur then DDT dusting improved yields, though livestock safety remains an issue. Best results come from strategic timing, with additional benefits from attracting pollinators like bees.

Bad Lands To Good Meat Through Sweet Clover Revival
A Canton Illinois farmer transformed 600 acres of stripped mine land abandoned since 1938 into productive pasture. He bought land for 5 dollars an acre, sowed sweet clover with a hand seeder, and annual airplane seeding of grasses improved the site. The land now yields about seven dollars net profit per acre yearly, with further potential as more states reclaim unproductive lands under similar farmer initiatives.
