Agricultural Reform for Southern Farms by Agnry Stewart
AGNRY STEWART argues that Southern agriculture suffers from a mono crop system and debt, urging a return to diversified farming, domestic food production, and soil-restorative practices like deep plowing and clover. He asserts the South’s soil is naturally fertile, and with proper rotation, stock rearing, and local dairy and grain production, yields and profits would rise, reducing old fields and debt.

He found moist, well-tilled soil and regular crops like corn boosted growth and vigor, while poor soils or misapplied manure hindered results.
