The Glacial Ironed Plains of North America
Glacial action leveled North American plains by smoothing the land, filling valleys, and creating rich arable soils. Deep deposits exceed 100 feet, with buried river gorges over 500 feet deep in places. Ice volume could lower global ocean levels and shift crust, influencing past and potential future climate cycles.

Prof. Cyrus L. Smith explains mulching with dry earth and thorough yearly cultivation to conserve moisture. A case study shows deep central plowing, surface dishing, and weekly harrowing yielded far more marketable fruit, while neglect reduced returns. Proper thinning and cover crops further improve size uniformity and annual yields.
