Soils Man's View of Russian Agriculture Shortcomings
Prof K A Olson of the University of Nebraska reviews a two week, 2000 mile tour of the Soviet Union with soil scientists. He notes low crop yields, nitrogen deficiency, limited fertilization, scarce weed control, reliance on horses, and small private plots near farm worker homes contributing a third of production, while state farms dominate land area. He argues for better irrigation, conservation, and soil management to raise productivity.
