Losses in Soil Fertility by Palmer
W C Palmer from North Dakota Agricultural College explains soil fertility is a traded asset in farm product sales. He notes that selling wheat crops removes plant food, leaving a net return of 70 per 100 and that cream returns 99 per 100, while dairy manure returns fertility to the land. Manuring boosts future yields, and growing crops to feed dairy cattle aids weed control and land preparation for grain. Dairying or livestock are key to profitable farming.
